Never heard much about those springs. If you want something decent find your self a set of H&R or Eibach springs, a set of MSP bump stops would be a good upgrade as well. Should also replace your struts at the same time, if not you'll regret it later on. Depending on the mileage look into replacing your strut mounts as preventative maintenance. Likely your endlinks will need replacing as well.
For a front lip send a PM to Formula_Import, they sell Autoexe replca lips.

I ride on megan racing springs, if you are ok with linear springs you will feel the bumps on the road more (so avoid them =P). They give a good drop. Check out www.teknotik.com (http://www.teknotik.com) if you want them local that is where i ordered mine and still have my stock struts, put this springs on 3 years ago.

New your looking at $300+
Might seem expensive but it really is worth the money.

Agreed, there is also TEIN.
Depending on how many miles you have on the stock struts, you might want to pick up some TOKICO "Light Blue" struts all around.
Also, If you plan to do the install, get 4 Endlinks from the dealer. They were never meant to be reused. They will likely need to be removed with a torch or grinder.
