Pros and Cons
Pros:
* More damping
* Higher spring rate
* A spring and shock combo that is designed to work together
* Little if no body roll
* Little if no brake dive
* Adjustability
* The ability to go round off ramps with your hair on fire.
* Pimp-daddy looks
Cons:
* Reduced attack angle
* Reduced ground clearance
* Loss of ride comfort
* Complaining passengers
* Cost
* Setup and Tuning is more involved
Bottom line... Coilovers rock... hands down better than lowering springs which is essentially just a shorter spring with a mis-matched shock.
