You get better driving feel when you replace with springs and matched shocks. It really isnt bad if you just get the springs but you could be over-working you OE shocks depending on which spring set you buy.
The most common sets are Eibach and H&R. They both sell matched sets or either shocks or springs only. I have heard good things about SACHS suspension too. Typically, a car is lower between 1-1.5 inches on a sport set without looking slammed. This is enough to give improved handling. The Koni Sport shock is popular because it can be adjusted to suit your needs. If you think you ride is to harsh, you can adjust them to be a little smoother.
Hope this answers any of your questions.
