Coilover?

There is no problem with running coilovers on the street as long as you choose your spring rates properly. You will probably want to get some good caster/camber plates if you don't already have them since your front suspension loading all goes through that point with coilovers - I have the Maximum Motorsports ones with metal spherical bushings with my coilovers and they work great. A strut tower bar is a good idea also.
As for rear coilovers, be careful whose kit you choose as some of them mount to the weak floorpan. I think Griggs racing makes a good rear coilover kit but it is pretty expensive. Maximum Motorsports was in the process of developing a rear kit last time I spoke with them.
