Springs or coilovers

Need some opinions/advice :)
Currently I have Bilstein B12 kit on my MK5 GTI. But would like a bit more drop. Ideally 20 mm. I have considered changing just the springs or getting coilovers. I have thought about H&R sport springs and Bilstein B14 coilovers.
Would good quality coilovers (fx. the b14 kit) still maintain comfort and driveability for daily driving, like springs (like my B12 kit)
What are your thoughts, those that have gone from springs to coilovers?
I want to be able to use it daily and occasional track/race  :happy2:
No money/budget limit ;)

I will be driving on 18" wheels with 225/40 18 tires

Cheers
Nicolai

Depends what you have to spend, coilovers are the best choice because they are adjustable to suit your moods, however, lowering springs are a cheaper alternative. H&R are probably your best bet, I think they do a 55mil drop set and still maintain a nice ride, will look sweet too..

StuF:
As Jay says above - springs are a good compromise that retains stock dampers and has a lower stance.
There is a continual debate between Eibach and H&R as to which is better - doubt anyone would be able to tell either apart when driving.
