factory replacement springs

I am looking at getting a set of springs that are a little better than stock. I have 17 inch cobra r's and they fit pretty nice already in the fender, but my stock springs are getting worn out. I was looking at FRPP B or C springs. Will they fit on the car without any modification and still look right? It says that they drop the car 7/8" in the front and 1/2" in the rear, but is that only for the V-8s? I am sure the weight of a 4-cyl is not going to give it the same reaction, am i correct? I know that the Eibach pro kit is made specifically for the 2.3L but i do not want to drop that low, my driveway is to rough to have it that low.

Also I am looking at getting a set of KYB GR-2 shocks and struts. Has anyone had them on their car and liked them? Are they a good shock?

Thanks for everyones input.
