Might handle better with coilies but you will have such better ride quality with the Bilsteins.

You get what you pay for.

a fixed rate spring and damper kit will be better than an equally priced coilover kit. although im not sure of the prices of both the kits you've mentioned

id have said the bilsteins would make your car handle better against the fks as the fks are more design for going low etc..

ohlin coilovers for example would be alot better, just very expensive..

i doubt the fks would break, but anything you go low with you need to start watching pot holes and slowing down alot for speed bumps etc..

also with coilies that you can change height and dampening, you can get the look/height you want, not what the manufacturer wants.
