Coilovers you can adjust from ~ 1inch down to ~ 3inches, where as

just changing struts and springs you will not be able to adjust nor and I think they will only go about 1.75 inches down. Correct me if I am wrong guys.

Might I add that there is also adjustable struts made by tokiko. Also, whenever you change the height of the car or drop you must get your car aligned. Its not as good as everyone makes it out to be! You can refer to the december issue of scc it has the article of the STE maxima and how they changed from a coilover system to the pro kit. Another thing is that the drop range can vary from car to car b/c suspension manufacturers do make up to a 3" drop on civics and the sportline springs from stillen, drops the cmax about 2 inches (I think).
