What's the big deal with coilovers?!

[Brent Barts]

Hi people, I've been wondering what the big deal is with coil overs compared
to say eibachs?  I'm looking for better handling in my classic to match the
new turbo power.  Every time i look in the classifieds somebody's selling
their eibachs coz they bought coilovers.
I am also in the market for new struts.  Any recommendations from anyone?
Car will be a daily driver and weekend autocrosser with accasional trip to
the drag strip(pretty rare on this one though).
Thanks
Brent
