Lowering springs vs coilovers - which is better for daily?

Want to lower my G20 330i by about 25-30mm. Should I go with lowering springs (Eibach, H&R) or coilovers?

Springs are cheaper (300-400 EUR) but coilovers give more adjustability (800+ EUR). For a daily driver that never sees a track, are coilovers overkill?

Also worried about ride quality. My roads are pretty bad (Eastern Europe lol).

    I went with H&R springs on my G20 and theyre perfect. 30mm drop, comfortable ride, looks great. No need for coilovers on a daily.

    For a daily that never sees a track, lowering springs are fine. Eibach Pro-Kit drops about 25mm and the ride quality is barely affected. Save the money.
