im planning on lowering my car but i dont know what to get. I was looking at these coilovers but i dont know if theyre any good. Do they just go in place of our springs? And how would it look if it was lowered 2.0 front 2.0 rear?

Yeah, definitely don't skimp out if you go coil overs. The half-a**ed ones like those you posted utilize stock struts (or stock replacement) and as such won't be properly valved for the setup.
On the cheap, you can just slap a set of springs in there like Tein S-Techs or any of the other brands. If you've got the coin, full pillow ball upper coil overs are the only way to fly, but it's gonna cost ya around $900-1K min. --------------------  |
