Well for you if you are going for show no go it woulnd't be worth paying for coils. Especially since you probably don't the rough ride that ALWAYS comes with coilovers.

if your going for show shouldn't you get coilovers? so that you could raise it up for daily driving and to slam it 4 inches for shows? but ya for daily driving i would recommend springs, unless if you could afford true coilovers that is. btw what kind of springs did you get?

For show, go with FULL, TRUE coilovers, but you'll be sacrificing your ride. For daily driving/ decent ride, go with springs (I'd recommend Goldlines) and a new set of shocks with a camber kit.
