Heres mine I only have springs and as you can see in the rear there is no gap. If your jsut looking for the low look all you need is springs. If you looking for low and preformance handeling then hte coilovers are the best bet.

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I haven't installed them yet. Hopefully some time this week. I think I'm only going to drop about half an inch from the stock sports package set up. Right now, with the Sports Pkg, the gap is a little over an inch. I didn't want to "slam" the car...just enough to be sporty yet still keep the luxurious presence of the car.
Prodigal545i has the same size wheels as the Spirits (just not sure of the offset) and his car is also lowered. I think he said there was mild rubbing with his set up so he rolled the fenders.
I'll post pics of my car once I get the coilovers installed.

Definitely KW's. H&R's tend to be very harsh. Also if you get the KWv3's they are adjustable for compression and rebound as well as ride height.
I have KW's on my S4 and have ridden in S4's with H&R's. No contest.
