Well your are going to end up spending around $150 to $200 on struts and shocks. And around $250 to $375 on springs plus labor which will run arond $350 to $400 unless you are doing it yourself. But you will still have to get your front end realined. For that money i would upgrade you spring and shocks that what im doing. Im going with eibach pro kit springs and kyb agx shocks and struts all that cost me $ 500. Its up to you on what you want to do tho.

I wish i did. You can pick up those eibach springs on ebay or local autoparts store for $245 to $275 i got my springs from advance autoparts. And the shocks and struts you can do the same jegs is a really good place to get struts and springs. You dont have to buy the adjustable ones tho.

Whoa whoa hold up here. Your only looking for rear suspension right? You do not want to put lowering springs on the rear with stock springs in the front. What noises is your suspension making?
If you want "cheap" and "good handling" then stick strictly to good shocks on stock springs (and replace wear and tear items). Something like strano spec bilstiens are around your price range for a full set ($430) and will improve both handling and ride. Would probably be best if you replace all 4 shocks unless you don't mind the front of the car feeling different than rear.

Sway bar links, bushings, etc. Don't do the transmission mount unless you also do the engine mounts, and at most only go polyurethane for one side of your LCAs, etc. There are lots of discussions about it - search and you will find far more information than I can tell you. I'm not nearly as well versed in it as many other guys here.
