coilovers are the shocks and springs as a unit i believe you are asking if its ok to just change the springs
this depends on what shocks you have already if you have standsrd shocks and 30mm lower springs should be ok with just springs if you want to go lower say 80mm youl need shorter shocks aswell
best quality you can afford aswell as cheep coilovers give cheep ride

Search coilovers it will have been covered many times over!
Personal choice of make would be KW's, budget Weiltec who make KW without stainless bodies!  :cool:
