Not everyone.

I figured I'd avoid the hassle and go ahead and get new/better struts while I was at it.

Yes. I wouldn't say forever though.

More aggressive driving will wear them out sooner. The lower the drop of the spring, and the higher the spring rate, the more stress you put on the stock struts.

How much money are you willing to spend? I believe that coilovers generally cost more than a spring/strut combo.

Coilovers would be adjustable. Springs/struts aren't.

You really can't go wrong with the Tein SS and EDFC. Here are a few pics of my suspension setup. The EDFC was not fully installed at the time of the pictures.

Coilovers also allow for corner balancing. If you are looking to truely maxamize handling capabilities, you would want to run coilovers

What is different between TEIN Htech and Stech spring ?
I heard Htech is soft spring and Stech is Harder than Htech.

So Htech is bouncy and Stech is more balanced ??
