tein's are SOOO MUCH $. If you are not gonna be autocrossing and lowering and raising your ride all the time, find yourself a nice spring and shock set. This set up will give you the ride height your looking for and the stiffness your looking for. The Tein set up is overkill for daily driving.
BUT, the coilovers will give u the adjustability of setting your ride height to what ever you want

id say go witht he springs since your in cali, the coilovers are nice in the winter here in nj bc of the shitty weather so you can raise the height when it snows ect.

Dont you have to make sure that you keep the coilovers clean if you live in snowy climates? becasue the salt will corrode them and make them lose their adjustability? is it worth it to have teins in harsh climates then?

if you plan on lowering your car more than 1.75 - 2" you should really get one... or rotate your tires every 2k miles

Comptech/Tokico Blue will be more than adequate but if u decide later u don't like the drop you're stuck
Whatever you do,avoid sleeve coilovers- they'll make your shocks bleed
