Wow. The OP asked if there is a difference between to parts and this thread goes off on some wild suspension tangent.
OP: If you want to know what combo suits you best..tell us your goals and your skill set and we can guide you from there. Personally, I don't mod a car's suspension until I cannot squeeze another second out of its performance (if we're discussing driving). If you just want to change the look of the car, you have tons of options.
After 15 yrs in the road racing world, I've driven and instructed too many HPDE's that had cars over built for the skill set of the driver. This weekend is a prime example..I spent 3 or 4 laps with the nose of my Nismo BURIED under the tail of a fully prepared track Mustang (coil overs, cage, wing, etc). My car is bone stock. After getting him so nervous he couldn't hold a line, he let me by. The factory Nismo setup is really awesome. I just think people want to play with their cars too quickly. Go drive the crap out of it first.
Attached is a pic of me after passing the stang on the front stretch
