Question need help lowering car & choosing spring or new susp.

Hi guys. I'm in the middle of modding my car recently. I'm getting some 18s and now it's time to lowerrrrr.... Been reading some good and bad comments about springs H&R, eibach, etc. etc. Can you guys tell me like how much those springs run for these days and which one do you like best? Another thing is I heard that if I change my springs and not the shock, my stock shock will bust in like 10k miles? Is that true? And if I want to get a new shock and spring susp. system, which one is the cheapest with a reasonable quality? Thanks lot for the info.

Eibach springs and sways are great with stock shocks. I've had nor heard any shock failures yet. There ride is as smooth as stock but there is no lean at all on turns and you dont bottom out unless you try to.
