+1 to what he said. The suggested springs are the optional JCW red springs which need to be matched to the VIN of your car. Adjustable shocks, such as the Konis, will help to dial in some oversteer.
Add to that the lightest wheels you can find with a 42 ET (think that was part of the earlier discussion), a Schroth Quickfit harness (sometimes can be found used on the NAM marketplace) and a set of Hawk HP Plus brake pads up front.
I am not sure about changing suspension bushings, but the stock ones on the front lower control arms are crap. At least get them replaced with new stock ones (Poly are probably not allowed in DS).

As for tire size, 215/45R17 will fit with no rubbing as long as the wheels are close-ish to OEM offset. You may be able to fit 225/45R17 but you may get some rubbing when considering wheel offset and suspension setup.
Hope this helps.
