Want to finally replace stock springs/shocks.. I do not want to lower the car and dont need a high performance shock. I just want new parts to replace the stock, squeaky parts. What combo would you recommend?

If you just want something new you could get a autozone replacement shock, but me personally I wouldn't pay a dime for something thats comparable to stock because the stock decarbon shocks suck a fat one for both ride and handling - why pay for something like that?
You can look into SLP bilstiens(less than $400), they were an option on these cars and will ride much better (and be way more stable) than the stock decarbons or a cheapo replacement.

Firstly the shocks are probably not what is squeaking, its likely a worn bushing (swaybar D bushing or endlinks likely).

Like everyone else said Bilsteins are hard to beat for the money. Use your stock springs with them and you will good to go there. The squeaking is probably from the sway bushing, I would spray some WD40 or something similiar on the sway bar bushing and see if the squeak goes away temporarily. If it does you know what your culprit is.
