    I think that's going to depend on how low you want to go and they're struts not shocks.

    Regular springs will be soffter so you can go with Tokios. Coilovers will give you a stiff ride with little sag, but need to get the Konis to smooth out your ride. All around it will be around $500 to $750 to lower right. Then strut bars will be about $100 off ebay and some custonizing.

    Well he did ask "Whats the best suspension set up for the money?", and the strut bars would help the overall handling.

    Read this thread and come back with questions. Like how much lower you want your car to make it look right to you. Then I'll tell you how much and where to get the stuff at the best price.
