You might want coil-overs for adjustability

If you got the money... get air bags. They're not only cool for show (gives you kind of a hydraulic effect, but spread evenly per axle), but you can let the car sit at a 3 inch drop when driving and turn the air bags on when you need the height.

You may still need to replace the struts (though not necessarily), but you wouldn't get springs with the bags. The bags go in place of the springs and fit over the strut.

Decent airbags run $1500 for the kit, plus installation (probably another $500-$1000 to have it done professionally), so they're not an option....

Best option for $200 would be to see if you can get coilovers to go on your stock struts, though it's not recommended and you probably aren't going to get any decent coilovers for that much unless you know someone.

I got my maxspeed coilovers for like $170 or so. They're great!

my sprint springs have worked out great, only 150$, dropped 2" initially, settled in at about 2.5 or 3, looks awesome and isn't totally riding on the ground, but there's room to play w/
