I've got eibachs on mine with standard shocks.  Lowered it 30-40mm.  Smooth ride (not too harsh), and now handles beautifully (less wishy-washy than with stock setup).  

Pricey, but good quality I say.

Thanks for all your replies, with money in mind I think I'll go for the Eibachs on standard shocks. Then again I might just go the full hog and get coilovers put on, decisions, decisions  :)

Coilovers are great if your budget will stretch. The ride may be a bit harsh for everyday driving though, unless you spend the extra, and get adjustables.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Eibach Springs & Eibach Anti-Roll Bars ;), no compromise in comfort and a hell of a lot less body roll
