There are different versions of springs from each of the previously mentioned spring manufacturers. Search member's ride threads, and check the actual manufacturer websites as well.

I'm riding on Eibach Sportlines and love the ride.Comment

What do you want? Great handling, a really low stance, and a bumpy ride? Get race springs (2" drop or greater). Not so low, decent handling, and a decent ride? Sport springs (1.5-2" drop). Adjustability? Coilovers.
Learn a bit about spring rates to learn which springs will be stiffest. Stiff springs will give crisp handling, but a bumpy ride, and potentially unstable traction on bumpy roads.
Whatever you do, do not drop your car on stock shocks. KYB, Tokico, and Koni are the brands of choice for our cars (Koni Yellows being my very favorite). If you buy a full set of coilovers, they will already come with matched shocks.
Springs:
H&R
Neuspeed
Sprint
Eibach
Coilovers:
Function and Form Autolife
Tein
Omnipower
These are just some of the good brands out there... Search through the various Members Rides threads and PM the owners of setups that seem interesting to you. Get their feedback before you decide.
I personally had H&R Sport (1.7 front, 1.5 rear) on KYB AGX adjustable shocks... it was decent. I now have H&R Race (lower... I forget the exact specs) on Koni Yellow shocks... and it's excellent.

Check ebay, various online shops (shox.com, tirerack.com), and any speedshop you go to can get them for you.
I got both setups from members here (check my Member's Ride thread, and you'll see MOST of my parts came from here
) Patastinky sold me my first setup for $400 and my stock stuff. Came down and installed it as well. My current setup was on P M's car (now in the possession of cp[mike])
