More adjustability.
When you have a coilover, you can adjust where the collar sits, thus adjust the preload on that tire. You can thus "cornerweight" the car, and try to balance the diagonal LF/RR, RF/LR weights for better handling. It also removes mass (tiny spring versus big fat spring). It also is more direct reaction to suspension travel... MANY reasons, just costs more...

What is needed to convert to coilovers? or is it just a bolt on type of setup? and will this fix the sag look i have now?
