lowering springs

[Cosmo <qwe@wam.umd.edu>]

I want to get my 93 100S lowered about 1.25 inches. I figure that would 
reduce fender gap and give me enough clearance  on the road. 

But I've heard that just getting lowering springs isn't good for the 
car, and that I should also get new shocks as well. Is this true?

Also I got quoted $387 for the job comprising of Eibach springs and 
labor. Does that sound fair? If not does anyone know of any reputable 
shops in the Washington D.C. /Baltimore area that does such jobs?

Thanks in advance
