You can use pi springs perfectly fine with stock shocks, i have done many times. The springs are usually progressive and will work fine.
You dont need a strut brace, they are only if your car is prone to flexing and you want to stiffen it up around the bends.
Lowered springs will improve the looks of the car no end, usually they drop it by 35mm and will stiffen it up no end. For the cash (usually 40->50quid per pair of springs) its well worth it. You can always buy uprated shocks at a later stage.
And... dont be tempted to just a coil of your stock springs! lol... ive tried it and it isnt recommended!
