However if you intend to use it for fast road use a lot, the -40mm springs and stiffer B4 dampers, preferably with the uprated ARBs would be the way to go but would compromise ride quality.
I would disagree that this compromises ride quality. I have this setup on my car and it doesn’t feel much different from standard, just feels more “modern” - bit less roll, more composed. Slightly firmer - maybe? - but it still feels relatively smooth and comfy compared to my new Ford.

If your suspension is shot anyway even replacing with standard stuff will make it feel better.

B6 shocks are for fast road and I wouldn’t recommend them for standard road use as I have read they are a lot “racier”.

Replacing all the rubber bits will make it a lot better, they are probably a bit worn now anyway unless they’ve been done recently. They can be really cheap as standard so it might be worth just getting new standard items first if your budget is limited.

Don’t buy cheap coil overs. Just don’t. It isn’t worth it.

One thing which I thought would make a massive difference was changing to 17” wheels, but I never felt a massive difference to be honest (I kept the same rolling radius).

If my wife didn’t drive our car I would drop it 80mm and have some thinner tyree on 18” Oceans but she’d destroy the car on the first road with speed bumps..... 😂😂
