I was planning to buy some cheap springs on ebay and was wondering if I could get some tips. I know that I have to buy a spring compressor before I change the springs, but do I have to buy anything else before I install the springs? I heard I may need new shocks, but I am not 100% sure. If anyone has done it before please let me know. THANKS!

You do need new shocks, as your stock shocks will not hold a drop and will eventually blow, which can be dangerous!
If u are on a budget, Gr2's will do.
If not, then go for something better, perhaps Tokico Blues. Nonetheless, this thread has been made several times. There is a "Search" bar at the top of the page. Try searching first before asking and enjoy your stay! -
Quality springs aren't all that much more expensive than cheap crap you find on ebay. You'd be much better off buying a reputable brand. Your life rides on your suspension. Don't cheap out there. If you're not willing to put about $500 into your suspension at the very least, you aren't ready to lower your car.
At the very least, get a set of quality springs, which will run you $150-$200, KYB GR2 shocks (which are just stock replacement, but WAY better than old original shocks) for about $200, a QUALITY camber kit (or your tires will be destroyed very quickly) for about $300, and an alignment... about $60. That's about $800... and as cheap as you should ever go on suspension.
