hmm, i have coilovers on the fornt only, havent done back yet, the only thing i noticed is that it squeaks some and it is MUCH bouncier(like when coming off a bridge that has a little dip at the end connecting to the road) i kinda like the bounce though. i dunno if its related but my hub bearing went out shortly after i put on the coilovers...

Ok, let me get this straight. A soild engine mount will vibrate the hell out of the car, but give you almost nil wheelhop. Some people can stand it, even like it, others determine the gain does not outweigh the sacrifice.
Coilovers-lower your car and provide a stiff spring. Ride quality plumments. So what I want to know is, does the handling improve in a similar comparison, as in, if you're not into a smooth ride, is this worth it for handling and appearance?

no. coil overs have softer springs than an actual spring setup. that's why they can be clamped down and adjust ride height. that's also why they're bouncy.

Dude -- how often do you think you are going to adjust your ride height??? Some would like you to think its as easy as just a click and a turn -- but you know what -- you gotta jack the car up...each corner and turn...tighten etc... and why would you really ever change the ride height?? If its too low -- well its too low.
If you really want it -- get the real deal coilovers. I had coilovers and there is no way in hell i will ever go back.
