Ok look at it this way:

Springs: $150-250 depending on brand
Shocks/Struts: anywhere from 175-300+
Coilovers: Skunk2 - I think you can get them for like $500-600

These are adjustable and cost only a little more if not the same price as a Shock/Spring setup. This is just my .02. I have Tein S-Tech's and KYB GR-2 Struts. Im kicking myself now that i should have just bought some coilovers. But i also bought the S-Techs when they were expensive so...

I know your not saying you want struts but if your going to lower your car do it right the first time. Your going to blow those stock struts right out.

We're going to need more information. What kind of drop are you looking for? What are your plans for the car?

if your looking for a big drop go with skunk2 pro-s coilovers. if not get tein/sk2 springs there pretty cheap like 200 but only give you a inch or 2 in drop.
