Default Suspension - Coil over conversion? Input welcome!

I have an everyday dd, looking to do some suspension work. Should i bother with a coil over conversion kit?
http://www.jegs.com/i/QA1/122/MU175/10002/-1
Or should i stick with strut and spring? ( buy after market ) I know i need the camber plates with this too.

Heres what i am looking at so far,

KYB struts 122.99 X 2
Steeda springs ( all four ) 229.99

If anyone knows of a kit that can beat these prices let me know. I am looking to do the front suspension. Spring struts and all bushings. Like everything. I need input.

Thanks guys. ( this is my xmas gift! )

Why are you starting another thread on the same subject after being warned about doing that already.
