So is there a huge difference between Coilover sleeves, and lowering springs? Or are they basically the same thing?


yes, coilover sleeves are adjustable ride height and higher spring rates.
Springs are one fixed height and better suited for those who don't know how to setup a strut accordingly.

basically....if you are asking these kinds of questions you have 2 options

a) lowering springs + kyb gr2/bilstein struts

or

b) full coilovers (TEIN SS for example)

So With coilover sleeves, you need to find a strut that will work the best with the spring rate of the coilover sleeve, where as with full coilovers, you are privided with the correct strut that works with the spring rate?
