Just do a search for "coilover" you'll get all the info you will ever need.

When you get the right set of spring rates with the right shock you can greatly improve handling, depending on your application.

You don't need coilovers for the rear if you get weight jacker lca, but I would invest in beefing up the torque boxes.

Be careful of doing rear coil over's without the aid of reinforcement for the rear shock towers. They have a tendency to crack if they are not reinforced.

Fot the fronts most people run CC plates to help this but nothing for the rear.
