Coilovers vs lowering springs

At high power decent coilovers will give you the edge.
The EXE-TC's I have fitted now feel OE even on 30 clicks! (Out of 40)

I had BCs - got rid of them after a month. Crashy, terrible ride quality, generally rubbish!
I then tried KYB Ultra SR shocks with Eibach 30mm lowering springs, which were slightly better but I still found the ride too hard. I wasn't impressed with the Eibach springs. If I were to do it again, I'd probably try Tein springs.
If you do go for springs, I wouldn't go for more than a 30mm drop.

Before you rule out coilovers, quite a few people (me included) have had the meister r's fitted. I think they're very, very good. My car is a daily drive and the only car in the family so it's also the kids taxi and these coilovers have done everything from trips round Wales fully loaded, with kids and luggage, to b road blasts cross country. Once they are set up they are great.
Here are some other people's reviews.

The problem with this sort of question is that one man's acceptable ride is another's nightmare. The Tein Super Streets I have on mine are in the nightmare category (for me) and will be going soon. A bit of wallet bashing beckons.
Another obvious point is that coilovers have adjustable ride height and, within limits, adjustable damping. With springs you're stuck with what they give you.

I'm another happy with meister coilovers, I had standard kyb with some lowering springs as it came from Japan and now after I switched to meister I can honestly say that they're more comfy than previous setup and with coilovers you can play with own height/damping

I've got HSD's on mine, running v.low on the softest setting. And they're still very hard! But then the car handles amazingly with its geometry settings. So despite the fact I break my back in day to day driving, it's worth it for the times when you're moving a bit quicker. As someone said above, depends what you're willing to compromise on.
