Just regarding my budget, would it be worth to buy the OEM Shocks/Struts over the Koni str.t’s with some lowering springs?

If you are concerned about your budget, and doing the work yourself, I'd say go with some B6s (or the best shocks/struts you can afford), and wait on springs. Lowering brings with it all sorts of issues- I turn into a feisty little snowplow during the winter, and occasionally bang my Pierce 2 point on stuff (especially coming out of parking lots). The B6s actually make the ride a lot better than stock, and improved the car's handling characteristics for autocross.
If you are having the work done, it may benefit you to save up for all the parts so you only have to pay the labor once.
Edit: I feel that pairing lowering springs with stock shocks is the worst of all worlds, as you'd get a crappier ride, reduce performance potential, and reduce everyday utility.
I also value performance way before aesthetics, so take that into account as well.
YMMV.
