height adjustment. Damper force adjustment. Camber adjustment.
They're more versatile in my opinion.
whats the advantage of coilovers?

just the fact that they are 100% customizable to the car/ application...whether just driving around or racing...you can also get a much lower ride height then any drop spring available
ok cool, thanks, you guys know your stuff...
Also keep in mind, there are two different types of coilovers, the sleeve type that slide over your existing shocks and struts and the full racing coilover.

full coilovers (which include short body dampers) are made for lowered suspensions, meaning the actual dampers themselves are shorter and will not bottom out like a stock size unit which will allready be compressed through sometimes more than half it's stoke on a lowered vehicle creating alot of stress on the damper (the reason most lowered cars blow their shocks prematurely). a short body damper will still posses almost all it's travel when lowered and will offer a much longer life and consistent performance at lowered stances. rule of thumb is if you are planning to dropp more than 1.5", full coilovers are the best choice (unless you want bags). almost every car on here dropped over 2" is on full coilovers or bags.
Nice...another reason why i should get coilovers instead of a spring/strut combo...
is that the adjastable camber?

^^^ that could be the damper adjustment....
Where are all these adjustments located and how do you adjust all of them?
the four bolts and the slots are for adjusting camber, but they are only available on coilovers w/ upper mount camber plates and for the front only (because they wouldn't be able to adjust camber on the rear on our cars because of suspension design). to adjust rear camber you still need to get a rear camber kit. the center of the strut's shaft top has a part that rotates to adjust damping force.
Coilovers will give you a chance to raise/lower your car depending on how you please. If you were going on a road trip for instance you can raise it for roads you dont know and you can lower your G for looks. Def go with Coilovers you may regret it in the future if you dont Good luck with what ever you choice bro, just PLEASE dont get them Blue Shitz yo! from autozone they are terrible and even though they are like 11.99 you NEED to steal them for them to be original Blue Shitz yo

When I feel like eating a banana, I like to go to the zoo, sucker punch a gorilla and try to run with a banana hanging out my bum. Then if I succeed, I enjoy my victory with said banana and a stroopwaffle.
coilovers give you this stance and an OEM ride

I have never heard of coilovers having an OEM ride, not trying to call you out on anything, its just a first for me. I hear they normally very bumpy?
