I can only speak for those two setups because Koni/GC has been the standard for years around here and I love my D2's, but my Cougar is not going to be a daily driver.

If you just want to improve your handling some and have the car sit lower, then just get lowering springs with Koni struts. The full coil over setups are a bit extreme for a car that is going to be driven all the time in my opinion, which I'm qualified to give as I had the pleasure of owning both Roush/ST220 springs and struts and the glorious D2 setup.
Indeed... I went for the GC Coilovers, and I honestly adjust the height (front only) MAYBE 2 or 3 times at the most a year. (only lowering it all the way down for cougarfest)

If I lived somewhere where winter didn't royaly **** up the roads, I probably would have just gone for regular lowering springs, but some roads can be a pain around here, so i'm glad that I have the option to adjust if needed.
