I don't understand why anyone would bother with coilovers in back. The only benefit I see is ability to run progressive rate springs. Yet most aftermarket coilovers I've seen don't have that.

The rear spring is a pure cantilever setup, so there isn't any binding like the front one.

Another thing to keep in mind is when going coilover in front you're losing the front springs anti-sway ability, which according to GM engineers makes up something like 25% of the total anti-sway. I think a sway bar with adjustable end lengths would be bitchin on these cars.
