Keep the stock springs. Just get Koni Single Adjustable shocks all around.

On the front you mount the spring on the lower perch to drop it and on the back you remove the rubber spacer and put a piece of heater hose over the coil on the spring (instead of the rubber stopper) and that will drop it.

The drop will be nice with a good rake but not slammed.

Here's a bad pic of the above mentioned mod:

To go further just get Eibach Pro-Kit springs instead of the above plan.

Here's mine with Eibachs on the front, heater hose mod on the stock springs in the back and Koni Double Adjustables all around:
