Progressive rate springs are better for daily drivers.
I started with Eibach "Street" (450-580#) variable rate springs, matches with Monroe Formula GP shocks. THAT was an excellent street ride, and should have come from the factory that way.
Later, I ran BBK 650# linears for a little while on a car that was intended for a roadcourse, but driven frequently (no daily) to work. That was "fine".

Now I run 425# linear rate coilovers (1600# rate conventional) with adjustable Koni Yellows, and its not intended for the street at all.

As for struts, I would go with the Tokikos. The yellows might be a wee bit stiff, even at full soft.
