So far I am running H&R lowering springs up front with their self leveling adjusters in back and sport bags so I’m sitting about an 1.5/1.75” below stock ride height now.
20s are actually in the near forecast, (considering 20x10s) with probably 295/305 in the rear with 265/275 up front (though I am considering squaring it for the ability to rotate), may hold off on the spacers and just put that couple hundred bucks towards the wheels and tires... likely the wisest investment for sure. (I’m planning to hold on to my 18s and Conti DWS 06s as a viable winter swap.)
I did consider coilovers but with my B6s being brand new and the H&Rs just going on with the Bilateins... bags seemed the reasonable solution for the moment... I do like the adjustable upper rear arms but with my little drop I’m guessing I can still come up with a pretty aggressive but balanced alignment.
I’m going to have to dig your thread back up and check that out for sure. Actually priced out a Snow Meth Kit... but that was for my 5.0 liter [emoji16]

IMO coilovers to improve handling are overkill on the street. A lot of money to spend to have more latitude for lowering. You won't need to go adjustable to get the rear in alignment.
Meth injection has a long return on investment but if you do a tune I would do it anyway. Regardless it would increase mileage and performance marginally, especially when outside temp is high. I would reducing back pressure before a tune or meth. Better exhaust sound and engines like low back pressure.
10s all around would be good. Would have to go with non-directional tires if you want to do more then move front to back. I would go with directional high performance tires so they are not a potential deduct from the handling mods you are doing.
