Default H&R Coilovers / H&R Sport Springs and Bilstein Sport Shocks Combo - Pls explain difference?

Ok, I have stock suspension car (factory lift kit)
If I wanted to emulate the factory stock sport suspension with aftermarket parts in order to lower the car a little bit, what would be comperable?
Springs and shocks I'm familiar with... "coilovers" is something new to me.
TIA

Coilovers are a spring and shock rolled into one. The benefit is that they are height adjustable, so you can get the perfect drop. Also, many claim that the ride quality is better with coilovers.

So what, you remove your stock shocks/springs to install coilovers?
