It will lower your car a good 1.5"-2" without making the ride teeth-rattlingly harsh.

I would only recommend coilovers if you were looking for more performance - otherwise, it's wasted $ in your case, imo.

Yep ^

Coilovers for performance, looks, and adjustability
Springs/Shocks for price, ride, and looks

Either way you go I think you'll need the adjustable rear control arms right?

Great looking car by the way!
