how much are you spending on suspension?
For my money the best -40mm lowering kit if you want to retain the ride is BilsteinB8's and eibach -40mm springs. Be prepared to spend nearer £400 for a full set though. Which puts you about £35 short of a set of GHA coilovers. Which imo are bloody impressive. I can't directly compare them against the b8's, but everyone on the '6 forum harks on about them being amazing too...
If you're not going for a more driver-orientated car, in which case you'll want it to be firmer, I wouldn't even bother with new shocks if you're only fitting lowering springs, unless your existing ones are definitely buggered...
