check ebay, they have descent coilover springs for pretty cheap price. i would also say that struts bars are a must to go w/ the coilovers.

Dont waste your money on the adjustable coilover "sleeve" springs, these are junk & DO NOT lower the car properly. Coilovers should come as a kit including the shock & spring, a good brand is H&R. A true coil-over set will set you back atleast $650.00. If you dont want the true coil-overs, go with a good set of performance springs/shocks.
H&R's cup kit includes spings & shocks designed to work together, unlike a suspension pieced together with crappy sleeve springs. Not sure if this kit offered for you make/model.
Are looking for performance or looks?
Performance:
1. Tires
2. Springs(adjustable coilover or coil)
3. Shocks
4. Sway bar(rear will have most effect on a FWD car)
5. Upper strut bars(biggest improvement is looks)
When buying suspension stick with well known names & dont buy price, BUY QUALITY - you'll be sorry a few months down the road when you must do it over(the correct way)
