Coilovers or not?

[Hwanger]

Hey guys. I have an 03 TRD GTS and I just got new rims this summer so I was thinking about slamming this car but I have a few questions. First off, I have 18 inch Enkei MM2 with 215/35/18 tires. I wanted to get coilovers just so I can raise the ride height back up because I drive my car in the winter (on my stock rims with winter tires of course). If I go with the coilovers, I was thinking on the Tein Basic since it's a full kit and comes with everything you basically need. How low can you go with these coils? If I don't get coils, I was thinking Koni yellows with Eibach springs (still not sure Pro or Sport). I want to drop it as low as I can get it but I'm worried about pot holes, speed bumps, going up driveways, and everything else that you have to worry about in the summer, and on top of that, don't want to look like a salt truck in the winter. I won't be getting the the shocks/springs until the beginning of next summer so I still have a lot of time to decide. Any suggestions and ideas are appreciated...

P.S. Along with these, are Front Strut Brace (upper), Rear Strut Brace (upper), and sway bars worth it? (Suggest some brands...)

you'll definetely find the best handling in coilovers but if u just want to "slam your ride" then u may just wanna get some stiff springs and a sway bar to prevent the body roll. theres no point in getting coilovers if all u wanna do is lower and raise your car.

also if ur gonna get koni yellows with eibach springs, y not just get the ground control coil set? its like 100 more and its the same spring... then u can adjust it all you want.
