The problem is that, in any 'punk' game, the lethality of guns is going to melee. That being said, there are a few things that can be done. First, reduce the CP cost and monetary cost of ST, HP, DR, Lifting ST, and Striking ST, either natural or artificial, to 1/5 of RAW. Second, increase the maximum bonuses given by bioware and cyberware to ST, HP, DR, Lifting ST, and Striking ST by fivefold. If Muscle Reinforcement with Bone Stimulation gives +5 HP, +30 Striking ST, and +30 Lifting ST, but it only costs 50 CP and $58,000, then you will start to get that Shadowrun feel.
