You can run proper coilover shocks.

Advantages, potentially more suspension travel, upright shocks (better damping because of improved shock movement to suspension movement ratio), more adjustment.
disadvantages, nothing.

some rear platforms have a larger body shock which wont fit. Most normal road going stuff fits with some hammer adjustment to inner arch. Depends on the suspension you are going to use. More clearance for everything is always better though.
