King Springs Superlow (front) and Low (rear) are a popular combination of springs. Should be able to grab all 4 for around $180.
Many people also suggest you change your shocks at the same time - KYB's are a cost effective choice at around $300 for 4.
Add on a couple of hours labour and youre there :)
There are other places like kmac who custom make springs to your specifications but they can be costly, so unless you want it really low, stick to the standards. Lovell also make lowered springs for magnas..

They were rough guides.. PM Philcom Rally (or email), one of AMC's sponsors and they will give you a good price.

Bear in mind the rear springs on wagons are different from sedans. Just a heads up.

Its definatly a harder ride. But i have upgraded shocks aswell
Yes you will feel more bumps, You cant have a lower car and not have to sacrifice something...its not that bad really

well i have pedders sports ryder struts and springs in the front and sports ryder springs with confort gas shocks in the rear of my wagon all up it cost me bout $1100 fitted and yes it is a rough ride it will also give ur car lots of rattles but thats wot my stereo is for to drone them out:D
Btw i do not recomend pedders, good service but bad quality they are already sagged and only 40 000km old

I have superlow in the front, and low rears.. running with KYB shocks :D
Ride is much stiffer.. you definately feel the bumps, but less body roll and much nicer to drive.. (Magna went from a boat into a road vehicle)

Personally id do the body kit first. It will give you a better idea on how low your car will sit for when you lower it.
