how it won is - $100 for Daystar top plates (i dont have them) verses the price I have found for OME front coils....becomes an easy choice.

now im trying to ensure what I want will look good....

You can use your OEM strut plates with the OME coils.

Just a P.I.T.A. to compress the coils and such. Haven't done a lift myself, but that's what I've heard and I believe it.

That would be Correct you can and most people do use the OEM top plates, The Daystar plates for 100$ also don't come with the Stem Isolators I've been down that road and they suck to source as Daystar doesn't sell those out of the kit... Lucky for me All J's bailed me out. The advantage to running the Daystar top plates is that they give you just a bit more shock travel and relive some of the pre-tension on the coils giving you a slightly better ride and a shade more flex outta the IFS. If you have them use them if not they aren't worth buying.
