Do you just want replacement springs for your stock shocks?   Or are you 
looking for a complete replacement shock/spring package?

Precision Proformance, Hall Pantera (and perhaps some others) sell 
replacement springs for the stock shocks, which are lower and stiffer than the 
standard springs...Precision lists them for $240 for the set.

Precision and Hall both sell Aldan coilover packages--new shocks and 
springs.   I wouldn't put them on a shopping cart--their failure rate is 
outrageously high.   If I was going to get new shocks and springs, I'd get Konis from 
Pantera Performance Center or Pantera East, as a first choice, and 
Carrera/QA1 from Wilkinson as a second choice.   Larry Stock carries the same 
shocks, but he fits them with ridiculously light springs (lighter than stock, in 
fact) which makes for a Cadillac ride, but if you drive your car with 
sporting intent, it bounces all over the road...:<(

In all cases, you're looking at $1000-1400 depending on various options 
etc....which is a reasonable price.
