I will tell you what I did so far as it may help you which route to go.
I installed the following, you don't need the exact same but you get the idea.

- Bilsteins PSS B14s (only height adjust), I love them. Here you can go with what Strumonkey suggested or any strut+spring combo/coilover kit you like.
- An ECS refresh kit for coilover installations which looking at it in hindsight has more that you need, some of the bolts and nuts are not wear parts, but it's good as it includes strut mounts, washers and other stuff. But it's a good idea to refresh as much as you can.
- Meyle HD end links. Super easy DIY, acceptable price.
- front sway bar bushes, not really needed unless yours are bad.
- front M3 TRW control arms, 4 piece kit from FCP euro. This was one if not the best upgrade.
- All of the above running on Michelin PSS, also a huge upgrade.

you can try buying everything from FCP Euro, lifetime warranty and replacement, you will have a new suspension and all of it's components for life.

As of now, I'm really really happy with the car, how it rides and how it handles. I'm only missing the rear control arms and maybe subframe bushes, but I haven't find an excuse yet meaning the car feels good in the rear.

hope this helped you! GL
