Looking into these coil over set ups, and notice some of the more exs[ensive ones have a pillowball mount... Is it worth the extra few hundred dollars for the pillowball?

It's really only useful on McPherson struts. Total waste of money on our cars, which have "proper" a-arm setups. On our cars, it basically does nothing but stiffen up one bushing that doesn't really need it.

That is a great way to break your shocks. The shocks need to pivot in the upper mount, so it can go through the full stroke without bending the shock shaft and blowing out your seals.
