You even quoted it. Did you miss that little tidbit of info? Do you think that coilovers were invented for people who want a slammed ride in the summer but a higher stance in the winter? Sorry - coilovers were designed and developed for racing applications. They found their way to street cars for much the same reason as strut tower braces did. Neither really has much purpose on a boulevard pimp ride.

No actually I read your post. While coil-overs may have been designed by racers, the most common application is street. Hence the market for coil-over sleeves. You get the basis of coil-overs, adjustablity, without the huge price tag. While they aren't going to be as good as the full race coil-overs they still accomplish the job.
So apparently you missed something in my post. I never said that coil-overs were invented by/for "people who want a slammed ride in the summer but a higher stance in the winter". You however said they were "pointless". I'm just stating that they do have a use other than race applications.
Strut tower bars are nice to have as well. I love to tackle corners. The extra firmness from my struts/springs with the rigidness from the strut tower braces/swaybars makes it fun to slam into corners. Just because I'm not an autocrosser or road racer doesn't mean I don't want my car to handle well.
