Daze tells you how to make your own here, or I think he sells them too. http://www.dazecars.com

they do make a big difference but not in isolation and not so much to handling but more so steering response and reducing effort (on a manual steer car).

what other plans do you have or were you just going to throw a set in?

From what I hear 620's are awful stiff.

If you use the 620s you will ride like a tank and end up changing them again later. I would get softer springs now. As far as the roller perches they really improve the way the car handles. IMHO they are the second biggest bang for the buck with the first being the UCA drop.
