shocks and springs or coil-overs ?
i am lowering my car and was just wondering if coil-overs or shocks and springs the best way to go about it cheapest coil-overs i can find are ap coil-overs for 500 or front and rear bilstein shocks and 40 mm lowering apex springs for 280 is it worth the extra 120 for coil=overs

What do you want? If it is handling then the Bilstein shocks and springs will be soooo much better than cheap coilovers.
If it's slamming it then the coilovers will be your best bet but you will suffer a bit less ride quality. |

Word of advice with Bilstein Dampers, the gas pressure is higher than in the OE dampers.
I fitted Bilstein B6 Front and Rear Dampers to my Mk4 Ibiza Fr with OE springs in the first place, the result was an increase in rideheight of 25-30mm. So I then fitted 30mm Lowering springs just to achieve standard ride height, they do give superb handling though  .

I am guessing the bilstein shocks you refer to are standard or oem equivellent? at that price, Not the shortened version? So unless your shocks are old/worn out, there would be little to gain from changing the shocks
 To get the full benefits you are best getting matching lowered ones or go the coilover route?
