Alex, you need to think long and hard before you go to stiffer springs and tophats on a car that you're driving every day. Just make sure you are ok with the free spinal adjustments and hearing loss from driving on the rough roads around here.
I would start with adjustable front and rear sway bars/endlinks/mounts and a more aggressive alignment. That will totally change the balance of the car, yet keep the setup soft enough for daily driving, and retain as much clearance as possible for the snow. After a year on coilovers on the street, I am seriously thinking of going back to stock struts and springs for next winter.
