The only advantage would be that it cleans up the rear suspention. You do loose cargo load capacity. It's not going to improve your handling, you can do that with the right size coils and shocks and a sway bar. The kit looks like a sway bar would not fit after installation too. I'm not impressed with what I saw on that page.

Competition Engineering has coilover conversions, gotta do some welding, but they are nice.
