Default Lowering kit

For a lowering kit on an 06' Si. Should I replace the shocks seperately from the lower springs or should I get coilovers? I read the owner's manual to my car alot. I know alot of it is just to keep you safe and such, but it says that lowering the car with non-factory springs can ruin the shocks. So I figure I need to replace them if I do springs. But then I've been reading up on coilovers. They're basically a single unit (Shock/Spring) right? So it might better to just go that road?

Are you lowering your car for looks or handling?

Handling. I have a bodykit in mind (same one I have pics of in my garage) and it looks like a normal height. so I just want to find a suspension kit that preforms rather than looks cool.

I've heard the HFP setup is pretty good for handling, its slightly stiffer and about a 1" drop, its around $600 I think, and its Honda.
