you can get springs with a pretty mild drop for cheap. may as well do that, and just find a spring rate you want.

They will definitely help, but since the springs are still going to be soft, you won't maximize your handling with just a damper upgrade. Should help minimize bound/rebound travel enough to tighten things up considerably. Might look into a full bushing kit, sway bars, and tower bars as well. SRT springs might also work in your situation.

I live in ontario, as long as you don't drop the car 2" or more you will be more than fine.
