the most common application is street.
Can you provide some data to back up this claim or is this an opinion of yours?

Hence the market for coil-over sleeves.
You do realize that thousands of road racers across the country use coilover sleeves don't you?

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.
Fact - strut tower braces do very little for the car's performance. In a race car they may have some impact but I have to tell you that in my car I didn't notice a difference - and it isn't a street car. The reason STBs are so popular is because race cars have them, they are easy to install and they look cool. The actual increase in stiffness is nominal at best.

Just because I'm not an autocrosser or road racer doesn't mean I don't want my car to handle well.
I never said you didn't want that. What I said is why bother with all the bells and whistles when you could have what you are looking for for substantially less money? 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).
