Eibach's are good springs, and will lower your car by about 40mm, if that's as low as your wanting to go then I wouldn't bother with coilovers...

Personally, I'd go with Eibachs and Bilsteins.

I've just got G-Max springs on mine and it still rides good, not too hard and it handles alot better with no rubbing.
