I am thinking about getting the Hotchkis Springs for my Celica GTS. I already have the TRD Sway Bars... what I am hopping someone with these springs will be able to tell me is if the car has a lot more oversteer or if the backend will snap out really quickly. Thanks for any help

Hotchkis is by far one of the best springs for the Celica. Got to chill with the racer himself John Hotchkis couple years back. The drop is not harsh and they are the only items that have ever been track tested throughly. Got a chance to take some pictures of their secret facility on how well they design & make their products. Here's some motivation for you. A couple sneak peaks of what they do.

The Hotchkis springs won't alter the car's handling when it comes to understeer/oversteer. To do that, you'll need the Hotchkis Competition bars (the only bars that will alter handling in that way). I've got the equivalent setup (ST rear bar is the same stiffness as Hotchkis Comp), and my car is very, very neutral up until the limit, where it tends to oversteer a bit depending on throttle/brake input. I love the bars.  They're most definitely the best suspension mod, and the best bang for the buck.
