Finding springs for your shocks

I've been trying to research suspension lately, but I don't know how find springs for shocks. I know you can't replace your springs without getting new shocks if you have a stock car. Do any aftermarket springs with with any aftermarket shock? Can someone please explain.

Thanks

Are you planning on lowering or stick with stock height?

I'm planning on lowering it, but maybe like .5-1 inch max.

I ran ACS springs and kept the same shocks - no problems so far and it's been 2 years.
