While the original intent of coilovers wasn't simply to provide height adjustment, they are useful for that purpose as well. If something is useful for a purpose, regardless of whether it was designed for that purpose, then there's certainly nothing wrong with using it for said purpose.

Further - if you are planning on dumping some 17" or 18" "dubz" on the car then I further stress not wasting the money on the coilovers since the "rImZ" will do more to hurt the handling of the car than the shocks/springs will be able to fix.

Then what do you suggest, 14" or 15"? Just what are "dubz" anyways?

I assure you that having compression and rebound adjustments won't mean dick on the street because you aren't pushing the car hard enough to notice (unless you are a ****ing ass behind the wheel).

That depends on your definition of 'dick'.
Adjustable compression/rebound does matter on the street. Setting it up properly can mean the difference between blowing a tire or bending a rim versus not having any problems when you hit that pothole that popped out of nowhere. And if you use your car at the track as well, it sure would be nice to configure it for the track where there aren't potholes.
All things being equal, they may also get you show points. Can't hate on somebody for winning shows with their "useless" coilovers.
