Seen good reviews about both of these on how they lower the car and increase handling.

Just wondering which would provide the best handling and the best ride?

I'd suggest FSDs coupled witha set of eibachs. Would provide great looks, soft straight line handling, stiff cornering all for less than a set of coilovers. If you are gonna use the car a lot and not going to trackday it much then coilovers will be a touch uncomfortable and pretty pointless really. You can get 75% of the handling of coilovers with 50% better road ride IMO. I run KWs on stock shocks and its a little tough on the old back on our roads TBH. But I intend on tracking my car so I have to live with that.

Last I heard Koni FSDs were designed for use with stock springs and running them with lowering springs would shorten their life expectancy.
