Default Stiffer springs vs better shocks

What would each affect handling, if I only wanted to change one. I just bought an acura 1.6 EL and want to stiffen the suspension just a bit, without dropping it too much or at all. How would only upgrading the shocks affect the driving compared to putting in stiffer springs?

Lets talk

just get a set of Eibach Pro's if you do anything, very little drop with slight increase in spring rate. that or just save your money
