I once had an impreza with stock dampers and sport springs. Later I went to a coilover setup.

I noticed that things like at the limit handling, steering feel, straight line tracking all improved vastly. As those things improved daily ride quality decreased in a very linear way. I think this is what most people already know about coilovers.

I would rather not have coilovers on a car if I did not have to.

But for nice predictable all out handling you can't beat them.
