I find it somewhat counterproductive to even try to suggest anything without any knowledge of how the car will be used. Maybe the guy needs Motons. Maybe he needs M033/Monroes for NYC streets.
Having rad that the car will be "primarily a daily driver", I'd ask what's important here (comfort, handling, just lower look, etc).
So, OP owes us some 'xplaining.

So, I am in the process of purchasing a 95 C4 and I am already thinking about lowering the car. I would like to go the pss9 or M030 route but my understanding is that those suspensions are kind of expensive and once I purchase the car my funds will be limited. I am wondering if a set of H&R springs and possibly some Bilsteins HDs would be more affordable with decent results. Any thoughts?
thanks,

if you search, you will find that several of us think HD shocks and MO33 springs = unacceptable ride quality, but you'll also find many people that love them.
don't buy without trying.

+1 Bear in mind that tires play a huge role in comfort too, perhaps almost as much as the springs/dampers. If I'm on Bridgestone RE11's (terrible tire for track work but great for street) the ride is more than comfortable. On Michelin PS/2's it's quite rigid.

..............and where is most of the driving done? City, thruways, pot-holed state roads? How many miles per year? If 5-6000/yr. or lower the answer may be different than for 8-10,000/yr or more? The more information the better.

Lowering the car will not lead to better roadholding. It can lead to absolutely random results, some of wchich will be borderline dangerous. That is simple and to a point and not to get involved in how suspension should be set up and why.
Unless you are interested in descriptive narrative as to what you are looking for, the best answer is don't change anything.
