I would recommend lowering springs from IPD or Eurosprttuning first or with the adjustable Koni's or Bilsteins. I wouldn't do thinner tires unless you have 17 or 18 inch wheels. The sport springs will lower your car an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half. They are about $200.

I got the eibach pro springs( lowered about 1 1/2") and bilstein HD shocks. Pretty nice. Handles great. A little rough on potholes, but not too bad. I am also selling mine, b/c I am selling my car.
