Coilover suspension

Does anyone in here run a full coilover suspension? I'm wondering if the improvement is night and day, or just marginal? Also, How did you attach the rear coilovers on the top -- without overstressing the top rear shock mounts?

1985 Trans Am - rough and ready -- 3" cat and primary exhaust, lowered 2", custom rust body work mild fender denting. Daily driver.
1976 Corvette Stingray - not so rough, but always ready. 427 BBC .030 over (433 ci) 12.5:1 compression about 600-700 HP/World Class T5 tranny, and no, I can't gun it for fear of breaking my tranny - upgrading to a muncie/gear vendors O/D as soon as I get some more $$$

I have the Art Morrison kit.Go to my website in my sig to see it in the pic section.Although i have not driven it yet I have only moved it in and out of the garage.The front end seems stiffer than stock.You can always get stiffer springs anyway.I run the 250lb springs.Stock is like 500lbs,but it is seperate from the shocks.I think you really dont have to run such a high spring rate since the springs are over the shocks.When I bought the kit about a year ago I paid $599,its like 7 something now.I was contemplating selling it at one time,let me know if you are interested.I might sell with a good offer
