The general recommendation will probably be Eibach Pro(gressive) springs and some non-adjustable shocks (Tokico, etc). It's a good setup for the money on a daily driver.

I went with the Racing Beat springs, because they are linear rate. Then again I don't drive my car every day. The RB springs are a bit tight for roads with lots of potholes. For comparison's sake the RB + Tokico setup is maybe 25-50% stiffer than a Mazda 3 with the sport package (just my estimate).
