Other reasons to opt for coil-overs:

They often use standard short springs with standard diameters. Usually this means you get rid of the awkward ae86 etc spring size and get to shop from a lot of cheap springs.

Tweaking the hight is sometimes usefull when trying to fit rims under the car. With adjustble camber you could find different combinations of hight vs camber that suit the rims and occasion.

Cornerweighting the car. Need some scales to do this. Is VERY noticable when the cornerweights are way off (heavy driver). Difference is obvious when u have acces to a lateral G accelerometer.

Rake (Front/rear hight balance) can be added as an extra method of influencing oversteer/understeer bias. Small changes go a long way. And its cheaper than buying new springs or sways.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
