You may not want my opinion again, but Im giving it to you anyway. The difference between good and bad coilovers definitely make it worth getting the good ones. First of all, they have incredibly high spring rates, which means your suspension will be bouncy as hell, you go over a bump and your suspension may not travel at all, you will feel every little bump in the road. Also, since they are so stiff, youre stock shocks will blow in no time, and if you have aftermarket ones, those will blow fairly fast too.

If you cant afford true coilovers then stick with normal lowering springs / shocks. Coil-overs sleeves are JUNK - IMO Dont be cheap with your suspension parts(springs, shocks, true coilovers) you'll regret it in a couple months or days & have to do it all over again. Piss some more $$$$ away. All that money you spent could have paid for some nice H&R or Tein coilovers.
Whats the difference between good & cheap? Good stuff will perform well - good handling w/ nice ride quality Cheap shit will have a harsh ride along with poor handling

First of all id like to thanks guys u guys help me alot but i have few more questions
so from what i heard everybody said Coilovers suck unless the good one which will cost me $700+ so now im thinking about just get lower spring but my problem is im afraid i won't be able to drive in winter time we got some snow here so here are my questions If i get lower spring is it hard to put them on? i mean if i can't drive in snow will i be able to switch back to my regular springs myself ? Im also thinking about get bodykit how much should i low it ? so it looks good and won't hurt my bodykit when i run over bump or some like that

You could upgrade to springs/shocks & keep your old springs mounted on the struts & swap out the whole piece. Which is very simple to do.
Get yourself a Factory repair manual from www.helminc.com The $70 buck is well worth it. Lowering springs with stock shocks is just as bad as coilover sleeves on ANY shock.
