I prefer coilovers since you can adjust them but if I were you I would save the money to buy some coilovers that are from a way better company (like grond control).

What do you think a good set of coilovers will cost me?
I need them for the summer.
So I have a little time.

Thanks for the help!

These are directly from Korea. They're also a great place to find OEM parts and have amazing prices on them.

I think he was thinking of coil sleeves not complete coilovers.
And as for your question, i would personally go with the eibachs. Coil sleeves are generic spring rates and aren't the best in quality in terms of lowering your car. If you are picky about ride your height you should get a quality aftermarket strut/shock and get the coil sleeves, but its much better if you can find springs such as the eibachs. They will be a set ride height band the springs carry a standard rating meant for your vechicle in paticular.
good luck.

Coilovers are good for the adjustablity. Springs just because theyre cheaper than a full Coil Over kit.

Springs & Struts are going to be way less expensive than Coilovers. I would say Eibach or H&R for springs. KYB or KONI for struts. I'll check pricing on those for you.
