Very clean looking car, great pic. Virtually any lower springs will work with your stock struts, only problem is that they will be at a constant state of compression and will compress more and "bottom out" driving the piston into the strut housing. Eventually this will cause your struts to leak or blow out. A sport or heavy duty shock is reinforced to resist this, have less travel inherently, a shorter piston to resist damage from bottoming out and also give a stiffer ride.

Springs will work with your stock struts, but expect new struts in the near future. Something you may consider for an inexpensive solution to springs and struts that is a spring/shock kit from a reputable company. I am not familiar with the brand Lowtec, but I know H&R has springs for a very reasonable price with most vendors and their cup kits are a very comfortable and sporty lowering setup without any hassle.
