Question Lowering Springs vs. Adjustable Coilovers

Hey guys...I've been inspired to lower my 2005 TL and i'm not sure if I should proceed with Lowering Springs or Adjustable Coilovers. I'm attracted to the coilovers simply due to the fact that I would be able to go a tad lower than the 1" lowering springs would allow, but have read that adjustable coilovers may be a bad move because of the quality of what's out there. Do you guys have any suggestions/recommendations? Here's my options (so far):

Lowering springs: http://www.slickcar.com/productdetai...ProductID=4391

Adjustable coilovers: http://www.slickcar.com/productdetai...ProductID=1700

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Leonardo

1. I would stay away from "coilovers" that are $150 for a set.

2. Those "coilovers" are for the 2G TL.

Awesome feedback. Thank you all very much.

Any suggestions on a PROPER coilover setup for a 2005 TL? My google skills seem to be lacking for this topic.

I just can't stand the fact that everytime I wait for something on the black market and it never shows up until I freaking finally go out and cheap out and buy something that I didn't want in the first place, such as coilovers. RAWR!!!!
