There is a HUGE difference. True coil = stiff suspension great handling and crappy ride.
There will always be a trade off, but if you have enough adjuatability you can get a decent ride for the street. I have used K-Sports in the past on other vehicles and had great luck with them. I recently built an MX-6 for my youngest brother and used the K-sports on that car - even with stock sway bars and no additional bracing the car handles very well.
It is worth it to just go for the true coilover setup. A sleeved setup might work ok for a while, but there will come a point that you'll want to go a little further and the sleeved setup will be your weakest link.
