Don't try to cheap out on your springs with an off brand... this is your suspension. Find the drop you like best, then price search for the best deal.
Drops:
Tanabe DF210 = 1.7"F/2.1"R
Eibach Sportline = 1.2"F/2.2"R
Hotchkis = 1.375"F/2.25"R
Sprint = 2"F/2"R

Springs are springs, quality between is pretty slim..... if money's tight sure get some cheaper springs.... but if you want to be safe and do it right make sure you get a set of shocks that is rated to match the spring height and rebound characteristics.
Some Koni yellow's w/ the Eibach's would probably be a good match. I've also had alot of good success with KYB shocks, i believe they were made in China which should automatically raise flags but for normal driving they served their purposes alright on my Lexus and 4runner as well.
I used Koni yellow's on my old IS300 and my 240 for a while as well before I ended up upgrading my suspension on my 240 to full coilovers.
Before I had the Cusco coilovers I had the cheapo Ebay springs and they were very decent! the front had a pretty safe drop while the rear needed to be lowered some more even after settling. we ended up cutting the rear spring by half a coil and still felt we could have gone lower. Ride quality was not sacrificed, however we only used those springs for about 3 weeks while our Cusco coils were being shipped.
