what are some good lowering springs
Tanabe GF210 very stock like ride, actual drop same if not more than eibach, and at a very good price. If you make a search on sping rate increase, you will notice that these spring offer one of the best increase of spring rates in terms of proportinal balance between front and rears, thus minimizing any potential increase in oversteer/understeer at the limit.
why do people think that coilovers are always the best option? a good set of springs and shocks will probably last a lot longer than a set of coilovers that are meant for the race track.
coilovers are not always the best option. IMHO. For the track yes...they are the ish, but the street is another matter.
hmmm...who out there has over 40K miles on their coils w/o any problems? that is something i would like to know.

Nope, your butt dyno is incorrect 

Hahaha, a little Mike Myers for ya.
You know, I thought they rates were equivalent to stock, but my car doesn't think so. Maybe it was because I used my tired out stock struts........time for Koni's either way.

$1500+ coilovers are overkill for a car that rarely sees the track. im running kg/mm race with koni yellows and im 100% satisfied with the ride and handling. make sure you get the alignment done. that makes a big difference.
Coilovers are a waste unless you actually take the time to set the vehicle up properly (corner weight, good alignment, etc.). Maybe 1 out of 10 coilover owners do this (or less).
Plus, a Ground Control/Koni setup will work much better than most of the $1,500+ JDM kits. Yah, I said it
. Shock dyno proven.
