Eibach, Techart, gemball, HR, and Ruf has a set made by HR to their stiffness... I have always been curious about them since Ruf deemed the good enough for the 3400S. Honestly you should go for the HR... cheap and reliable. If you could match them to ROW struts or Bilstein Sport shocks that would be ideal, but many run with springs only.

if you are getting a free install maybe you can get a full coil over kit or replace the shocks in addition to the springs? Seems like a good oppourtunity to really cut down the cost of a big one time expense.
Your car will feel and drive like brand new with new shocks.
