If you still want something comfortable but sporty, my old setup was Koni Yellow (single adjustable ) shocks front and back, and King Springs.
The king springs gave literally no drop in height, id probably give IPD springs a go.
Following that, Superpro bushes front and rear to tighten it up, and Kaplhenke Quick Steer Roll Centre Correctors are an absolute must have for the front if you do decide to lower it.
Don't forget some grippy tyres too :)
