You know how Tavarish is hating on those DIY adjustable lowering springs?

Those cheapo eBay sleeves, with good shocks and even okay springs is just as good as a low-end (height adjustable only) coilover setup.

By “just as good,” you mean just as bad.

Especially when nobody makes coilovers for your car.

Just as mediocre and not worth it

I’d say it’s worth it. A full set of decent coilovers for $400 isn’t too bad.

Ehh, it all depends on how much ride quality matters to you. Personally, I like a firm ride, so a decent (not rock hard) set of springs would be better than your typical rock hard coilovers.

After working in the suspension industry, trust me, cheap shit is cheap shit

I mean...if you were going to go that way, you owe it to yourself to get Ground Controls and do it right. The principle works, yes, but there’s no part on eBay someone hasn’t figured out how to screw up. And if you’re doing the setup correctly, your shocks will cost more than the springs anyway.
