Default audi a4 3.0 quattro 2003 suspension upgrade

Hi guys i have an audi a4 2003 3.0 quattro, i want to lower my car by about 1 inch in the front and 0.7 in the back, ive been told that if i change just the springs i will have to replace the shocks in about 5 k miles. So im thinking of getting a full kit. I dont really race that much but i want it to be a little bit stiffer but not like im riding in a car with square wheels and feel everything single bump. Any recommendations on what brand should i get and what do i have to do? Maybe theres something else i have to change?
Thanks.

yea i want to get the coilovers, i just didn't know how to call them. I think adjustable will be better, but they are expensive, maybe someone knows the cheapest place i can get them? I was thinking of some german brand suspension.
