Default springs or coilovers?

I was gonna lower my lexus, and i was wondering whats better, springs or coilovers? Ive heard about these airshocks? or something like that, anyone have info on those?

Id just like to hear what some people have to say about the eibach springs, would it look right with the eibach springs and the veilside kit? cause i want to be slammed to the ground.
Thanks

Well if you want to slam it and not make your car drive like one of those East LA Specials, you need to get coilovers. Plus, coilovers have the advantage of having height adjustability (not just stuck with one setting) and some coilover systems also have a dampening adjustment...

Airbags is another way to go but I have yet to see a non-stock system that's problem free...they break regularly...however, I am currently looking for a high quality Air Bag system (but not a ricer one that does fast dumps and whatnot, just a clean functional one that's bulletproof and one that gives you a good ride)

i have eibachs in my car and it only lowers it not even 1 inch. RS*R has some springs that lowers it 1.5 and H&R also too (i think). IF you want to slam it to the ground, then all the power to ya, but just gotta be careful for the front end because it's pretty low stock. I was thinking about airbags too, but they break and i don't like the sound it makes and the ride looks horrible. that's just me though...i'm more of a comfort rider...i do not want to have to worry about braking my kit all the time.
