Yes, springs can provide a nice drop for your ride, but are not adjustable. They are also significantly cheaper which appeals to most people whose cars only see the street.
Coilovers give the owner more flexibility, generally are considered of better quality, and are better for track applications. For these reasons they are also more expensive.

What I have heard outside the forum is that after a few years, springs alone can crap out on you. That is what I am wondering about - longevity. If I can purchase some Swift springs, get the desired drop, and not have to replace or fix anything for years, then I'm sold (as my car doesnt see the track). But if they will crap out on me in a year or two, then I'd prefer to make the investment in some quality coilovers.

Please fill me and others in.
