Coilovers are deffinatly better, however, do you NEED them? What are your mods? Chances are 4cyl springs will be fine for you, I cut low low 1.6s on em

There is NO disadvantage to going CO's on a street car, but cannot speak to the effect on a 1/4 mile ride. A tube "K" will strengthen up the front end and CO's will allow you to run a nicer spring rate for a better twisty experience.
