springs+shocks vs. coilovers???
I am currently running the eibach pro kit on my car and i think it sits a little too low. I was going to get koni shocks but then I started thinking about just going with coilovers. are there any disadvantages with going with coilovers or vise versa? i think i would have way more adjustability with the coilovers as opposed to the spring/shock setup....any input is appreciated.

Yes, more adjustability is a plus. Getting shocks with your current setup will not change the ride height though. So you would either need different springs or go with a coilover setup like you mentioned.

^exactly, i agree. so my second question is, how do after market shocks such as tokico d-spec line up to coilover shocks?? if i can save money by just buying shocks, that would be great!
