Lowerin' the A4 a hair.

I know quite a bit about lifting trucks, but nothing about lowering cars. I plan on installing a body kit on my car (I haven't found anything that appeals to me other than a widebody kit). I want to get either 18'' or 17'' wheels before that and temporarily, get Eibach springs to lower my car an inch or less.

Does this all sound like it'd work? What would you recommend as far as wheel size goes and spring drop to hold me over till I get coil-overs? I don't really want to replace the aftermarket shocks I have on 'er now (Blisteins) because they don't need it. Just want her to hang a little lower.
