Spring drop

I will changing my shocks soon (Bilstein HD's) and I figured while I'm at it I'll change the springs. What would be a good choice?
I know I can't drop the car with the HD's, but is their a spring out their with only a slight drop that will work with the HD's or do I HAVE too be at stock height to use the HD's?

There is no reason you have to swap out your springs(they don't wear out like shocks), if you are happy with the height then I wouldn't bother, the shocks will make a huge difference alone.
