Default do shocks, struts and lowering spring make a good difference?

I just bought some eiback sportline lowering springs and was wondering if i buy the shock and struts to match it will it be a significant difference over stock, thanks also how much better are coil overs over a non coilover setup thanks guys.

you should always buy new shocks and struts when lowering, especially if your using old stuff, when I did my car it was a night and day difference.. Coil overs just give you more adjustability as car as ride height and other things

+1 on adjustability....coilovers usually come with higher spring rates too but im sure you can find springs with whatever spring rate your looking for and match it with some nice struts and shocks.....i personally went with bilstein sport dampers and 400lbs front 300lbs in the rear
