Pro kit is pretty close to stock but progressive. I don't think it's enough spring for as much as it lowers the car. I also don't like to see cars not on coil-over conversions sitting that low. It's counter productive. With conventional springs you should normally stick to about 1 - 1.5" front and back.
Steeda Sport is a pretty firm but manageable spring. I like em. Definitely need a shock upgrade though. These are basically C springs.
For most people looking for just nicely lower than stock but with a decent ride I like F springs and Tokico Blue dampers.
Replace stock struts and shocks with tokico blue's or illumina's with any of the springs you're looking at. CC plates are great if it makes it into your budget on this round. Otherwise wait till the next round of mods and replace the shocks and struts first. It's ok to run stock plates but you should expect possible increased tire wear until you get a nice tire friendly alignment on it which may require plates.
