If you are after looks, you made the right choice by doing springs. Springs will of course just replace the spring part of the suspension and retain the factory strut. This is ideal if you like the EDC setup and wish to retain that functionality. Coilovers replace both the spring and strut with a height and in this case rebound/compression adjustable strut so you can dial in your height and own valve settings for the shock. This is ideal if you are specific about the ride height and need the ability to adjust the struts individually for a track or even spirited street setup.

From your post, it sounds like you are happy with the handling of the car but just wanted a lowered look. The Eibachs will offer both, better handling and a lower look and will suit your needs just fine. Coilovers are great if you have the budget but I don't see the reason to spring for them if all you are after is a lower ride height.
