Lowering my 05 Civic, Springs vs. Coilovers?

[Honda_FD]

OK, so I am back from overseas and I've been researching a lot about "coilovers vs. springs", and I decided I am going to go with coilovers mainly coz it's gonna work out to be about the same price or a bit cheaper anyway..

If I go with Ground Controls and Konis:

Ground Controls are $346 AUD + shipping $89 AUD = $435

Koni Yellows for my car are $800 AUD, so all together that's $1235 for a Koni Yellow shocks and Ground Control Springs setup.

While if I go with coilovers,

I'll probably go with BC Racing BR series, costing $1299 with free shipping, from eBay (JustJap).

Or I can save $100 and go for the BC Racing entry model coilovers the V1 Series, they are $1,199 with free shipping, from eBay (JustJap). Worth it?

Are there any other options I should consider in this price range? In terms of performance, would a coilover setup work out better than going shockers and springs separate?

The car would rarely be tracked, but I still wouldn't mind having a decently fast street car.. May be not fast yet until I do a K-swap and get rid of that D17 engine but a nice handling car would be fun to drive for the time being..

pm me When you are free.
I can get you BC BR Gold Edition for $1250 Brandnew with 12 month Warranty.
Located in Melbourne aswell so shipping fee or long waits wont be a problem

3) So far from majority, it would seem the case, only people complained about Koni are those that dump their cars on their guts which they're not designed for.

I went BC BR Gold cause my car is a Carpark Whore. Sits there and looks pretty.
Custom spring rates to 10:8 with max damper isnt as bad as people say it would be. I've taken people in it
and they dont find it back breaking or anything. Even the girls dont complain... As much..
