I know coil over will save weight.... I'm all for that. But which handles the the best? that's what I really care about.

Re: no holds barred
Less unsprung weight will help handling to a degree, but the best benefit for your car will likely beng able to fit the biggest tire possible under the car. A coil-over setup will limit your tire size significantly.

Re: no holds barred
And fitting bigger and wider tires doesn't always = better handling. It all depends on alignment and other things. Wider and bigger might add unsprung rotational weight which is bad for handling and reduces acceleration, ofcourse this depends on the threshold between the added traction benefit vs the added unsprung weight.
