Cool CoilOver KitS or SpringS

i am planning to put coil overs on my 99 a4 1.8t does any one know any cheapest brand of coil overs that matches my car but with a better handling? any info where i can get those and the price range? and another question would it be cheaper if i just get lowering springs? does it fit with my stock shocks? thanks any suggestions will be great.. first time to have an a4 and first time to have a car and i wanted for it to look good and at the sametime improve the handling..thanks..

^ LOL.

Perhaps a cup of coffee with some energy boosters played some role.

I just saw the title and thought of typing like that. I don't know how people type like that. It took me close to 5 minutes to do that much. I suck at being girly.

Depends on how much/often you're gonna dick with your ride height. If you plan on raising and lowering for daily driving vs show or winter vs summer then get coilovers. If you're a "set it and forget it" type like I am, pick the springs with the drop you like and get them. There are a lot of height drops out there and one is bound to be what you're looking for - if you won't be adjusting them then why pay extra for coilivers when you won't be using their features.

H&R race springs ftw - the drop is perfect IMO.
