Coilovers are great, but caveat emptor:

1) the spring perch does come loose as you use it, so unless you have access to a shop that can tighten your suspension from time to time, or your own space, be aware of this.
2) like most other shocks, they need to be rebuilt or replaced from time to time.
3) if you want comfort, shocks is going to be your #1 goal. Increased spring rates will be less comfortable no matter which way you go... and coilvoer spring rates will be higher than lowering springs, all else being equal.
4) $1k? get shocks and don't change springs!
