If you are buying new springs you should get new shocks too. Depending on how much you lower it, your stock shocks will blow soon. Or you could just get some coilovers . The place that does your alignment will also adjust your camber.

Do a search and you will find a lot. Otherwise, many people here will flame you.

If you are just looking for the lowered look and not really a big gain in handeling performance then just go springs. A nice shock spring combo or coilover will really improve handeling. Many people can run aftermarket springs on stock shocks with no problems you just need to make sure you go with a moderate spring that doesnt lower the car very low.

Good luck.

hr sports are a good beginner/ low budget spring set, but like everyone else.. get shocks while you are at it.

Change the dampers too. If you stick with stock and put lowering springs on, you'll be going through the whole process again to change 'em.
I'd recommend coilovers, all the parts are made to work together, easier install and ride hieght is adjustable.
I ride on Tein basic dampers, love 'em. Check out optionimports.com, they had the lowest price when I bought from them.

H&R Sports + KYB AGX has been good to me for now. All of it was less than $500 including shipping.
