I've added wider Michelin PSS tires and the added grip is incredible over the stock Pirelli all-season tires. Again, the VWR springs are holding up just fine.
For me, these are the best bang for the buck. Ride quality is hard to tell difference from stock. The lowered look is perfect and not too low.
The only way you're going to upgrade is with a good, full coil-over setup IMHO. Then, you're looking at KW Street Comfort to get a ride anywhere near stock. Everything else will be a bit stiffer. Not necessarily a bad thing is that's what you want.

Yeah, I've read mostly good things about the VWR springs, so I was curious to hear some negative feedback on them. I like that they are only about a .75" drop, because that's all that's really needed imo. That should be totally sufficient with spacers. Eventually I plan on going to 19's with a more aggressive tire.
