Honestly, if you paired ebay shocks with skunk 2 springs, youd be bouncing all over the road. Wouldnt make for a very comfy ride at all.

To start off, whats your max budget?

When it comes to suspension, DO NOT buy off brand products. If your budget is $600, I suggest getting Koni Srt.t shocks & some Neuspeed race springs or eibach sport springs. That will give you a nice drop and its more in your budget. + You wont be bouncing all over the damn road.

Suspension selection gets a bit more limited when your past the year 2000.
A nice coil over set-up would cost you about $800 +

Re: suspention question

I agree with everyone above. Don't cheap out and buy off brand on the suspension. Koni's are good, Tokico struts are good and there are a lot of decent springs out there (not coil sleeves). $600 might be a bit tough though depending on how much you shop around and how much you do yourself. If you do it yourself other than the alignment you could probably get close to that.

Don't forget the rear camber kit either! (if you drop more than about an inch)

That is a pos as well.
If your budget is 600 then look into getting tokico blues and some sort of lowering spring like eibach, neuspeed, tein...etc

Re: suspention question

I would order Koni Yellows and save up a bit longer for a good spring.

Re: suspention question

I agree with MindBomber, it'd be better to save up for something better.

If that's absolutely your budget, I'd say hunt for some Tein S-Techs and some Tokico HPs. I got all four Tokicos for about $375, but that took some waiting and hunting on eBay. Sometimes they cost more than that. The S-Techs I got from someone on this forum that was selling them off, so I lucked out and hit it for $110. I'll vouch for Eibach springs though, but I personally like the S-Techs better.
