im sitting on sportlines an i like the way it rides. just enough drop so that you can tell its had work but not so low that i swerve from potholes. lowering springs are a good bet cause soilovers start running 750+

Another +1 for springs give it a 1-2" drop, if you like it then get coilovers later. I bought a set of H&R Sport springs (1" drop) had them on for a month and then went to H&R Ultra Low coils (3.25" drop)
You'll always be able to sell the springs @ about a 50$ or so loss so not a big deal and if you do the install yourself it's a cheap route as well.

How'd you find the ride on the H&R? Cause i got a person here who swopped his H&R drop 35mm, for a Eibach kit 35mm..
He says that the H&R are too much of a hard ride.

I didn't find the ride harsh at all.
The Eibach and H&R could be a different spring rate, but I was happy with the ride. Remember that some peoples sporty is someone elses harsh, someone's comfy is another ones bouncy.
One last thing is that the less stiff your springs are the more likely you are to wear out your shocks because it's going to give more travel.

Personally I'd always go for coilovers over springs, they are a bit more expensive but definitely worth it in the long run.
Also, have you ever considered air? I have it on my mk1 and it's amazing!

My car is lowered just using eibach sportline springs and shocks and it's about a 1.4" drop. I'm currently running 19" wheels:
