sleeved coilovers= yes eventually you will need to replace with after market shocks , which is not cheap. camber kit is suggested depends on drop.
true full coilovers= again , camber kit is suggested depends on drop. i would invest camber though.tires are expensive

depends on your budget.. if you have close to 1000, buy fullcoilvers.
when you lower your car. dont forget about camber kit(suggested) and realignment. what size tires are you using? what kind drop are you looking for? slam look? daily drive? show car?

if you dont planning to SLAM your car. go with springs. alot of people using springs instead of sleeved coilovers.then save up for shocks.
