    NB top mounts are supposedly heaps better than NA ones in terms of NVH. In addition I support KFJ in using bilsteins; however I would look at FM springs instead of HR or Teins, and the reason is spring rate. After quite some searching, it appears that the valving on the billies is better suited to higher spring rates (they are quite overdampened for OEM rates); therefore stiffer springs will feel comfier, plus they will not be that prone to hitting the bumpstops with the lower ride height. BTW, I would also suggest shorter bump stops or extended top mounts.
