I am thinking that it will not affect the coil and possibly provide some added support on the frame itself. is this wrong of me to think that double damper is not better than single coil damper? insight?
I'm thoroughly confused by what you said.

My guess is you wanna run 2 springs (oem location plus the coil springs over the dampers) and 1 damper on each side...?

I think theoretically, sure, but have fun figuring out the right combination of spring rates needed. Both springs will have to be significantly softer, and the rates cannot be directly compared to each other due to the different locations.

2 springs won't yield added chassis support, at least not that I can see here. I think your concept is that it's better to spread the weight load to 2 spots instead of 1. Well technically speaking, the shock mount was never designed to take on car's weight.
