Top of the line coilovers offer far more adjustment than your standard spring and shock combination. Also with any coilover, you would be able to eliminate all wheel gap and not have the 1-2" gap leftover from aftermarket springs.
If you do not really plan on road racing and attending drift events, then there is no real need to spend over 1k for coilovers.
If you want to eliminate wheel gap and would like height adjustability, look into GCs and AGX.
If you just want a better ride and eliminate the some of the stock wheel gap, look into a spring and shock combo.

coilovers have better shocks..
coilovers have shorter shocks
when riding with a spring shock combo you will bottom out onto the .... bumpstop because the shocks are not short enough and there is absolutely no freaking travel in the suspension
for ex..
my current 240
has eibachs and kyb's
when i do hard *** cornering i am riding on the bumpstops
so coilovers are usually better and just a tad bit more expensive..

TECHNICLY(sp?)...coilovers are any setup where the coil (sping) is over the shock. it just turned into a common word for complete (spings+shocks) adjustable suspension setups. wow im full of trivia facts today...haha
