And lowering springs on inequitable shocks is only going to recreate the instability problem, the shocks wont be able to damp the springs and the car is going to feel unstable again, just stiffer.
Personally I would go with these:

and keep your stock springs. AMAZING difference.
You can use the lower perch on the front konis to lower the front of the car ~.75" and do the heater hose mod in the rear to lower it around 1/2".
Try this first before lowering springs and see what you think, if you still want springs then you now have shocks that will damp them very well.

lol, if I were you and had to stick to a $1000 budget, get the 4/3's, some Brembo blanks if you can find them and HPS pads, and maybe some poly endlinks for your stock sway bars to boost their performance....that should put your around $1000 if you're only looking to replace your front brakes.

Yeah, you don't have to lower it to get good handling Koni SA's, sway-bars (strano hollow bars), and a more performance oriented alignment (a little negative camber). If new sway-bars aren't in your budget the as stated above get new poly sway-bar bushings and end-links. I would also replace the PHB bushings too.
