Don't know too much about the 9g but get coilovers. With coilovers you can choose your own ride height, with new springs you are stuck with the height that the springs are made from the manufacture.

If you want more comfort and some low, get springs. If you want a stiff ride and more low, get springs

KSports are great if you want minimal quality for minimal investment. But the 9g has crap options so you're basically SOL.

All the coilover options for the 9g suck. Its that simple.

Get WORKS lowering springs. thats plenty low for a 9g... i have them my front bumper is 3 inches off the ground. and ride quality didnt suffer to much. just avoid potholes. got them from here http://www.worksevo.com/ but i dont see them on the website anymore maybe give them a call and see if they still have them. located in cali

lowering springs for a 9g, their coilover options are extremely limited. I had K sports and it was not too stiff, but I also took 90% freeway and our roads are extremely smooth. My GF and basically anyone who rode with me hated them, but handling was superb.

Tough decision, but springs for 9G.
