COILOVERS are the only way to go(why spend $36,000 & not give mR the best possible upgrades $ can buy)If you are looking for springs and their many benefits (simplicity, cost) and want some that improve the handling and stance of the vehicle, these are great.
Springs will reduce the travel of the stock shocks, no doubt. With the increased spring rate,the actual amount the suspension will travel on a given compression is less than it would be with the stock springs, reducing the amount of travel. This is harder on the shocks and stiffens the ride, but don't we all know this?
On a side note, I could put any suspension I wanted on this car. But we like to test everything we sell personally, so I put the springs on it. I already have my JICs, but like I said, I'm not sure they're going on anytime soon.
