if your upgrading your springs, do not, i repeat, do not use your stock shocks and struts. your car will ride like s**t and you will blow your struts. dont skimp on the springs either. buying shitty, bargain springs is a sure way to make sure your car handles like crap and rides like crap. get some good springs, like tiens or ground controls and good shocks like kyb. depeding on how much you drop it, your going to need a camber kit too. figure if you drop more than an inch and a half your going to need the kit. you also need an alignment done after you do any suspension work. get it done right the first time or your just gonna spend a ton of money doing it over again to fix what you didnt do right.
