in terms of performance, do coilovers offer any significant advantages over springs??

DeutschDriver

you can have the car corner balanced

you can choose any ride height you want (that'll effect camber, unless you get a camber kit)

you can choose any spring rate combo you want

you can select custom valving

yes

I assume you mean the former, otherwise the answer would be pretty obvious .

If you're comparing a coilover setup that's sprung exactly the same as a spring/shock combination, then you're advantages will be corner balancing and height adjustments.

However most coilovers are sprung considerably higher than a typical spring/shock combination. For this reason coilovers will typically offer a little more performance, in addition to the two reasons above.
