Need honest advice on lowering springs

For about 2 months I have been researching about lowering springs. I wanted some advice from owners that have used lowering springs, or coilovers. I have been looking into buying a set of skunk2 lowering spring and putting them on my stock struts. Than later on upgrade the struts, since I have heard that stocks hold up for a couple years.

Now my questions is it a waste? I have read on forums that some say its all looks, and doesnt really help handling. While others have said since it sets the center of gravity lower to the ground you have less body roll.

I also live in Pa where there is a good amount of pot holes and we do get some snow during winter time. I just would like to close the wheel gap and upgrade to some 18s with good tires. And have slightly better handling. I dont track my car just use it for every day driving.

What seems like the best lowering spring? As far as suspension and looks?

Just would like help on making a decision on others who know more and have had good or bad experience.

Thanks
