REgular springs are around 225. With Eibach sportlines and stock shocks my car rode and handled better than stock, but the shocks don't last long. You could save up while driving around on springs, but then you have to do that labor twice. So for that reason you should do shocks and springs at the same time. Sportlines, or other spring with less of a drop (1.2" ?), may be more compatible with stock shocks though.
