Take a coilover strut with a spring rated at X lb/in. Then take a conventional McPherson strut with a spring also rated at X, and with the same strut insert. The difference between the two will be ZERO; there is no "mechanical advantage", they both work in exactly the same way.
The advantage of the coilover strut is adjustability, and the ability to easily purchase springs in 25 lb/in increments. This is very useful on the track, but on a street car it's little more than wank factor.
