I'm in the same boat also, not to highjack your thread, few questions myself.

Does it make a big difference what kind of springs you run with your shocks/struts. I am planning on buying dropzone springs. What would go well with those? How would you tell what to run with them?

The best off the self shock/strut and spring combo in my mind is

koni yellows
and the eibach pro-kit (might have to trim the rear spring a bit)
