I intend to keep my car for another 5+ years, so the investment is justified in my case.

You might be surprised about the ride quality of aftermarket "progressive" springs. Because of the progressive spring rates, you'll sit lower and still have a fairly gentle ride if you are not driving your car hard.
You also don't need to lower your tire pressure unless you are going to a MUCH stiffer spring rate. Even then, it is not so much the tire pressure that you have to worry about; it is the tires themselves. Either they are designed to withstand the stresses of increased spring rates or they aren't.
