Ok its later...

The megan racing coilovers are awesome imo. They are inexpensive and good quality. 32 way adjustable damping for soft medium and hard settings. Height adjustable and u can get LOW on these lol. Fronts have adjustable camber, rears do not ( that's fairly standard on most coilovers I think). They can be anywhere from about 650 I hear to about 900 if u look at the right places. I also believe the srt community recommends the BC inverted coilovers... But I don't know the difference other then extra $$$. Pt-performance has a set of coilovers that's also really good.

One nice thing is that BC makes a set of rear camber plates to sell seperately and they also bolt up to the megan racing coilovers

As far as rideability is concerned I've never owned springs, and with few exceptions I probably never will. Srt4 stock shocks are not designed for prolonged driving at compression like that. U will blow them out, the springs will sag, they will become bouncy and annoying and you will regret not spending the extra $$$ later. In my experience the springs tend to be a little bouncier. I prefer the coilovers because you maintain full shock travel and you have the adjustability of how hard the ride is. It takes a high quality shock to mate to a set of springs and have them last and perform exceedingly well. MINI S for example. I know some guys running better times on springs then coilovers because of the amazing shock design (I know nothing about it so don't ask lol) on an srt I'm not so sure its going to perform even half as well as a c/o, but that's my opinion. If handling is a priorityn pick up some megan racing coilovers and throw them on a soft setting! good luck bro!!!
