Best aftermarket suspension kit for UK roads

[carrera-gt]

I've just taken off coilovers and put on lowered springs and std dampers, i'm about 30mm down, the ride is reasonable a little harsher than my sport hatchhback but not much.
The coilovers were too harsh for my roads, as mentioned above stiff small coilover springs and harsh dampers produced a ride that was both harsh and jiggley at the same time.

All you really need to do is to take some of the roly poly out of the standard car a little lowering does that.

I'll stick my two penny's worth in to this thread revival as I've just seen it  

Got the Bilstein B12 kit on my GTI (IIRC it's Eibach lowering springs (~30mm) and Bilstein B8 dampers). 

The ride is reasonably solid; it's worth avoiding potholes. One thing that did happen was that within 4-6 months of each other, both rear dampers blew their seals and needed to be replaced as they pissed out their oil. I rarely have people in the back of the car (probably 10 times max in 3 years) so I'm not sure it was this that caused it. 

Anyway, handling and grip is phenomenal with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.
