H&R's are nice they just dont have the flexibility of Coilovers.

Tell me more about the chip you have in the car Roman. Also, you may want to check out GruppeM - it looks like they have an intake out for our cars.

In theory, you could use a spring with a lower rate with the coilovers and use the bump and rebound settings on the dual adjustable shocks to tune the ride. Dial them in harder for track use, and soften them up for street use. Ride height should be adjustable with the coilovers too, while with the springs it's fixed.

Having said that, I'm happy with the ride characteristics of the H&R springs (i.e.: the bump setting imparted by the springs isn't too harsh for street use - although this car is my weekend toy and is not a daily driver), and I'll know for sure if I like the handling characteristics after next week's autoX. My goal was to dial out body roll and drop the car some without hurting the ride characteristics of the car. I think the springs alone will achieve those goals. If so, then a set of single-adjustable shocks (i.e.: rebound only) will probably give me the ability to adequately tweak the handling to meet my needs. Higher on my personal list of desirable mods is a pair of camber plates.
