Any springs that have been discussed will work fine with the stock shocks. One thing to keep in mind when pairing lowering springs with OEM Shocks/Struts is the longevity of the dampeners. Because the OEM Dampeners were designed to be used with the stock springs, going with a shorter travel (lowering), higher rate spring will put extra stress on them. The OEM Shocks will not last as long as they would with stock springs. I can't give you exact numbers but from past experience new OEM dampeners last around 25k-50k miles on a lowered car.
You can test your dampeners on the car by pressing down on one corner and seeing how it responds. If the car returns to normal ride height without oscillating or bouncing your dampeners are okay. If it bounces up and down like an old Cadillac, your shocks/struts are blown.
