Naturally a lower ride will handle better, but neither will increase your handling by a ton as compared to a sway bar or coilovers, so between the two I would vote s techs.

Lower does not always equal better though. From what others have found that have taken the time to measure and look, the tc is going to be good between 1.5 and 2 inches of drop. Closer to 1.5 should be better. Too low and you throw off the geometry and start dealing with overly high spring rates. It is a common misconception that slamming a car = good handling.

If you want adjustability then go with tein ss-p's. But dont waste your money on adjustable coilovers unless you really need the adjustment.
