Adjustablility is the main advantage, not a by product. To answer the original question, it depends what type of supension you are replacing. It's best to understand looking at pictures. The main reasons for "coilovers" is: -you use a standard diameter spring, so you can easily use any generic race type spring to swap around and change your spring rate. The spring is not model specific, just a 65mmID spring for example. -The smaller diameter spring can allow for more clearance, sometimes needed for different camber/caster angles. -The ride height is adjustable. Coilovers will not change the way your car handles at all if you use the same spring rate and shocks. But once you go to a coilover setup, you have a greater choice of springs and other aftermarket things. [Report message to a moderator]
