Post Coil Overs or Not?

Thinking of putting coil overs on my Saff, Good Idea or not? I do not intend on running on the track just road use!

Supposed to be very hard, i'd prefer good quality shocks and springs for road use.

Lots of people have different ideas, I've spoken to a few people who say coil overs on the right pound springs is the way to go and not koni, bayoo

I had koni before and they weren't the best under load compared to coil overs
