I'm on full adjustable koni coilovers in my eg hatch and I like the ride height a lot and the fact that I can go as low as I want to or back to stock if I wanted. I was on neuspeed race springs in my dc integra on stock struts and the ride wasn't much worse. Springs in my opinion are all for the look but adjustable coilovers are more for function as people want to auto cross and all that good stuff. Most people will do fine with just some nice springs/shocks like steezy's setup.
