Default Suspension and spacers recommendation for the wife?

My wife just scored a B5 A4 with 28K miles. The car is the closest thing to new I've seen in a long time.

I've convinced her to get some celebration 17", and now I have to convince her that she needs suspension to make the car look proper but she doesn't want the car to loose comfort. I've personally always gone with what performs the best, but that's not a concern of hers.

With that said, is there any suspension that you guys would recommend that will give a nice drop (not too slammed but just right for the wheels going on it) and something that won't loose comfort?

Lastly, what size spacers would go best with 7.5" wide celebrations?

Thanks!

My wife has been driving my B5 A4 with H&R Sport springs and stock S4 shocks, with 18" Avus wheels and 235/40/18 winter tires, 10mm ECS spacers in the rear. I love the look and she surprisingly loves driving the car. I thought the 18" wheels would be really harsh but they aren't bad at all.
