I bought a nice used set of Gold-Line Coil Springs.
It took a little getting used to driving after I lowered but you get used to it quickly.
You go a little slower over speed bumps and Watch for upcoming potholes and Avoid them.

I have the Eibach Pro kit on mine with new struts. Rides great....especially compared to all the other lowered vehicles I have owned over the years. I only really notice limitations when I fly over a good dip in the road and it may sit down on the front bump-stops, but that is pretty rare. (and yes, the front bump-stops are trimmed down).

Lowering with just springs is gonna make the ride not nearly as smooth as Stock, you loose alot of the travel, springs are compressed to lower the car.
Want adjustability and a better ride I would think full on coil overs are the next option to look into.
