I believe you can use any stock or lowering springs designed for the protege/egt/323 with these struts.

if you keep the stock springs .........would the car get lowered ?
will handling improve a lot or would one need the performance springs to complete the lowering......
will the struts last with stock springs ???

The car would not be any lower with the stock springs (at least a visible ammount). I'd definately save for the lowering springs to complete the look and performance. The struts will last longer with the stock springs because there will be less pressure on them.
