EG Suspension Opinions

Wanted to get some opinions on a nice street setup for my hatch. Looking to stay around 2.5 - 3 inches and a decent ride. Would like to have option to adjust so coilover setup is ideal but was wondering if it is that much better to buy a shock and spring combo instead and just swap suspension in winter. Three choices I've narrowed down to:

1. Koni Yellows + Ground Control Coils
2. Koni Yellows + H&R Race Springs
3. Koni Yellows + Neuspeed Race Springs

So let me know what you guys think as I need to get rid of this garbage setup on my ride (Ractive Coilovers + KYB GR-2's that are blown)............

I'm familiar with options 2 and 3. Way too low for a comfortable street ride, expecially in the city. Sacrificing way too much comfort for a slightly more aggressive look. I changed to the neuspeed sport springs, extremely happy. Performance is excellent and bumps and dips a lot more tolerable. I can also survive winter driving with some snows on. Options 2 and 3? Forget winter!! I'm not a fan of coilover setups, having that installed before also. Go with the neuspeed sports.

Just found this and wanted to know what you guys thought, seems pretty high quality if you read the neuspeed PDF and built with Bilstein shocks, great price:

Is this a true coilover system?

the only problem with switching springs for winter every year is that you need two alignemnts per year done...
