They're like the most popular choice for the 240. Good quality and ride from what I've heard. I personally have eibach sportlines. Just havent put them on yet but saw a s14 today with them on and the car was real low.

The AGX struts will run you at around 350-400 (All 4) depending on where you get them. If youve never dealt with suspension before, have a professional do it and make sure to get the car aligned

Tein S-Tech are comfortable, but don't expect a huge drop from them... and if you upgrade to AGX, your car will actually sit a tad higher than if it were on springs alone. However this is, as naptime stated, the "bang for the buck" setup a.k.a. the Christmas setup (red and green).
If you want a better drop, for like $20 more you can go with Tanabe DF210 springs, which will sit lower but will still work with AGX.
And always get an alignment if you change the height of your car - at minimum get the toe settings corrected, or you'll be eating tires in a month.

I have S.Techs on my Spec that I also bought off Ebay, new. Probably the least inexpensive springs you can buy that won't be horrible for your car (like some ****ty 50 dollar springs on Ebay). They ride good, though I can't compare for how they feel on a 240. They're worth the money though for the drop and overall appearance of your car, even without the added benefits a better spring will offer your car's handling.
Hope that made sense. Just get some good dampers to go along with them.

Honestly you shouldn't go halfway. If you get a lowering, different rate spring, you get upgraded shocks so that they work as intended.
If you don't have the money for shocks at the moment, save more $ before you buy springs. then when you have enough money for shocks and springs, save about $50 more for a basic alignment that you'll need once you lower the car.

yea i figured on ebay, if i get the g-2 or w/e and either tein or another spring i could get the whole thing for like $300, but it's possibly $300 i would rather spend on my engine I would prob only get shox if i blew mine out other wise i would just get the springs. But im' not sure yet
