If your looking to slam it, definitely go with a coil over strut kit, if your simply looking to get rid of most of the fender gap, do what I did and go with springs. Tein S-Techs have been good to me and I've been riding on stock struts for over a year.

It really depends on what you're looking to get out of the car. If you just want to lower it for looks, you could probably get away with a mild drop from some springs. If you're on a budget and want some performance, you can put together a spring and strut combo for pretty cheap. If you're not on a budget, then a coilover set is definitely the way to go. Check out our suspension section, there's a lot of info in there. You can post any suspension specific question in there as well.
