If you want better than OEM on a budget, go for it. If you have a little cash to play with, I say pass on coilovers and get a set of Koni yellows plus swift springs.
I agree, but from a performance standpoint i'd never get swift springs. They're great for lowering your height while keeping the ride comfy and not blowing your stock strut, but they are progressive springs, and progressive springs are terrible for performance because they're not linear. With hard driving you'll get snap under and over steer. Either keep the stock springs or go to stiffer non-progressive springs...but that's for performance only. if you want a drop that's a different story
