Handling wise I'm very pleased with my Spoon progressive springs.
- they took a while to get used too on my '05 but very good now they have had time to settle in.

Cue the final line in my sig 
Style vs performance (OEM or otherwise), up to you.

the only time you will notice the difference is the last few 10'ths of performance and who drives to that extreme unless on a circuit
Unless you are going to do lots of track works I'd go for lowering springs and save the dosh

you speak from experience then Zero? Actually the car feels much more composed at 7/10ths on a country lane. I'm the first to admit I don't drive the car 10/10ths like PJL, Burnie et al (track days are simply a learning experience), but those who sit in my passenger seat always notice how much more composed the car is. Its much more satisfying to drive now.

Trouble is, the majority are genuinely unable to discern the difference - just look at the huge numbers of German cars with truly unacceptable ride quality that are sold.
Just remove the springs from your S2K entirely and bolt on 19" wheels! So long as it LOOKS fast!

But looking at the Spoon ones, they are

That would be reason enough for me to switch to Nitrons!
