well, it depends on how much you wanna lower. Just remember, even though you save $100 on generic springs you could, and probably will end up spending more to fix the problems it will eventually give you.
Personally I think Eibach Pro-kit is a really good spring, 1.5" drop all around and is stock shock friendly. I think it cost me like $175 new on ebay

do you want to go with springs or coil-overs?
if springs, do you want a mild drop or extreme drop? for mild, go with eibach pro-kits or H&R sport. for extreme drop, go with eibach sportlines or H&R race. there's lots more but those ar examples.
for coil-overs, some say Tein SS is good. there's also AMG, Tein Basic, Ground Control, etc.
remember if you have a huge drop, replace your struts with aftermarket ones.

But it really depends how low you want to go.
A nice small drop is about 1-1.5 inches.
Eibach or H&R can take care of that for less than 200. You can even use your sock shocks for a while with a good possibility of not needing a camber kit.
The more of a drop you get (the lower U go) the less of a chance you can use your stock shocks and the more of a chance you'll need a camber kit
+1 =) or u can always juz save up for coilovers...for when the shocks go =)
i was thinkin a lil more than 1.5'' in a drop, and i was thinkin about startin w/ jus springs and then workin up to full coilovers etc. i can handle $200 easily, but i jus dont want it to be wasted. i was leanin towards tein-s, but now im thinkin eibach. think of me as clay lookin for a shape/ form to be molded into. all the help and advice is appreciated, so thanks.
you might need more than $200. remember that once you lower like 2 inches or around there or lower, you might need to invest in some camber kits and an alignment is a must too. so take that into consideration as well.
tein s-techs and eibach sportlines are about the same drop
tein h-techs are similar to eibach pro kit
just look for some good shocks if your planning to go the shock/spring route.
(theres more brands/types out there like Neuspeed and coilover sleeves, etc so look into those as well)
ridin with just springs on stock shocks can be ok until a certain point. then you might experience problems so just get everything at once.
otherwise just wait around until you find a good deal on some coilovers.
but theres nothing wrong with shocks/spring combo.
