A 'coilover' setup usually refers to a complete setup of stuts AND springs but the struts have a threaded colar on them that allow you to lower and raise the vehicle. On the PT, since the rear is shocks and not struts, the threaded colar just sits between the spring and rear axle. Most coilover setups for the PT Cruiser will run $1100-$1300 unless you find one on a firesale.
To you, what is 'sloppy' about the suspension? Are you saying it's sloppy over bumps, or is it 'sloppy' while making turns? Personally, I thought the turn performance was bad on my 07, whereas the straightline comfort was fine. The only reason I added coilovers was because the car was sitting as high as a truck and it looked gay IMO. So the addition of a rear rollbar was the only thing I did specifically to 'improve' the ride.
