if you go for springs, you need to change the dampers, else they may fail, then you will be left needing to replace them anyway.

Best way to do it, just buy a set of coilovers. Slightly expensive but easier

The coilovers you would be looking at are rubbish tbh. Go for decent coilovers, or decent shocks and springs.

Look at used ones. Spax, Avos, FK's are ok imo.

Gaz ones are great, new £400ish. Dont come up used very offen though.
