Mine is on coilovers and very happy with it.

Only thing with coilovers is if you go too low, you could potentially ruin the hanlding.

my 4 is lowered on teins also
coilovers were in the car lowered quite alot an busted the bearings in the top mounts

shocks an springs = comfy ride and slightly lowered
coilovers = on its ass but very hard/un-comfy

Coilovers every time.

Just springs can work, but remember the spring that comes fitted to the shock is designed to work together, whereas an aftermarket one is not, which can result in poor handling and or damage to the shock.
