well if u dont want to lower it then dont get springs...plus that will leave more money for shocks(which are definitely the more expensive end of the deal) ...I think for ur budget a set of revalved bilstiens would be your best option
*cue suspension gurus to step in and totally go the other way*

keep stock springs and go for the revalved bilstiens , or save more money up and get the Koni 4/3 or even better 4/4. don't skimp on one of the most important parts of the car
