Default SE springs on a SRT? Ice Race

I currently bought a 'wrecked' 2004 SRT-4 for racing puposes only, but with a possible road use also (Need to see what this things about, Its completely an unknown car to me). BUT, the car came with lowering spings in it! Very Very low.. Too low..... I put lowering springs in my 2001 daily driver SE neon, which is fine for street driving.
So my question is, will the stock SE springs fit the 2004 SRT4? The SRT needs to be raised for what I'm going to race. I plan on Ice Racing (Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club)
I have previously run my 98 neon for four years, But I JUST bought a SRT for this purpose. A true 100% ice racer, but with a possible Track day from time to time during the summer. I'm completly on a budget, the wrecked SRT got me good enough, So Will those springs work to do what I wanna do? From experience in ice racing, you dont really need stiffer springs. Some people like the car to lean a little, also its usually a rough surface. Any advice would be appreciated. its only getting colder in upstate NY, things need to happen.

they can be installed but the ride height won't be much different than stock. Also, the lower spring rates will cause tons of suspension travel (good on ice, HORRIBLE on the road course) so it's something you'll have to balance. I would make sure the bumpstops are engaging properly before you go out there. Make sure the strut isn't bottoming out, the tire isn't making contact at full compression, and you still have room for all of the ice/snow that'll be collecting in there.
