You'll really appreciate coilovers after you change the rear subframe bushings as well.

The stockers are way too soft, and have the rear bouncing and wiggling a lot under load. Stiffer springs and shocks will work the subframe bushings harder. They really change the car for the better.

If you can choose spring rates, I'd ask someone knowledgeable about the proper rates to get, as the rear has a weird wheel rate due to the spring location and many people are running stiffer rates to attain the proper balance. I know Harold at HP Autowerks or Beau at PSI (Performance Shock Inc) can help you.
