Default best lowering setup?

first off:

-car: 04' A4 b6 (no packages)
-i dont plan to track my car (maybe once or twice to try it out)
-im not going to race (besides the few street encounters here and there)


-i just wanted to know a good, yet economical, suspension setup focusing more on lowered look and almost stock comfort, rather than "trackability;" without sacrificing so much performance.

im looking into ecs tuning's H&R + bilstein grooved shocks combo
or getting some Intrax springs combined with some performance shocks.

what are you guys' experiences on any of these setups or if you have any other suggestions. (relative to a college student's budget)

neuspeed RACE springs, not sport springs...and bilstein shocks...

dude this will dominate any spring/shock combo out there...the responsiveness is freakin insane. theyre very aggressive, my friends and i cant even believe how much of a difference they made... it out handles my lowered wrx like a night and day difference.

i was thinking about coil's but after i see how these are like im never gonna change.

Nuespeed or H&R Race springs and Bilsteins. A lot of places sell H&R/Bilstein combos for a discount.
