The link isn't working, so I'm not sure which springs you are talking about. The only "performance" spring I know of that won't lower the car are the GM 1LE springs. Have you thought about just getting another stock spring?
Ground control. They will let you pick the ride hight u want and you can pick the spring weight you want. They do not cost much more than just lowering springs. I paid 369$. You can adjust frount and rear. The stock shock is good for 300 lb/inch. If you get more spring rate you should get more shock.
I have no idea if those springs lower the car or not, but I would guess they do. The rear springs on that set are probably really sofr and that little airbag is used to keep the rear end level during drag launches. I don't think they would be the best choice for a daily driver. You can look for some stock springs in the for sale section or Ebay. they usually go for really cheap. I think I sold mine for $25. The Ground Control setup is a good idea, but I don't think it's really worth it w/ out changing shocks as well.
lowering springs cost about 200$ With ground control you can set your ride hight to what ever you want and you can get stock spring rate. 300 lb/in. The cost is 360$.
This is the only set up I cound find that was stock hight and the spring rate that I wanted.

Just thought I'd mention that GC fronts can be bought seperatly for $225. If you ever wanted to get stiffer springs, they run about $50ea.
If you still have the stock orange shocks they are not going to be able to control any kind of performance spring.
