The Bilstein / Eibach B12 Pro kit is in my opinion one of the best springs and shocks kits available.
Let me know if I can be any help with info or prices.

I'd also suggest the JOM kit, good kit for the money.

As above the AP kit is a good option for within your budget.

If you can get a picture of them we may be able to tell which kit it is.
Failing that we have the JOM kit available for £185.00 inc. VAT and delivery.

Afternoon,
What I'd say about the three kits in question is the following -
The JOM kit offers the best ride quality and value for money and is by far the most popular kit
The FK AK Street offers the best build but only slightly and has the widest lowering range but has by far the shortest warranty
The Prosport kit is quite new on the market and is very similar to the JOM kit but has a longer warranty but also more expensive
I hope this helps and if I can help any further please just let me know.

We have the JOM kits for £185.00 delivered at the moment but give me a shout in January as that price could have changed.

We have the JOM coilovers which are similar to the TA kits, I'm sure we could get a good price on them for you if you're interested.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
Depends what you're wanting from the suspension, what drop, what ride quality, etc.

For within your budget something like the JOM coilovers at £185.00 are going to be your best option.
As for springs it will depend how low you want to go really with prices ranging from around £100 upwards.

Did you have a budget in mind?

The standard drop links will be fine.

If you're lacking tools and a flat area then yes I'd get a garage to do it.
Straight swap so shouldn't charge more then 2-3 hours for it.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
The AP kit is £385.20 and the V-Maxx kit is £372.60 so quite a step up in price from the budget kits but you also get a step up in quality as well.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
All very similar kits.
The JOM has a slightly better ride quality where as the FK AK Street has a slightly better build quality and also a wider lowering range.
If I can be any help with prices or info just let me know.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
As above, no.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
Something like the AP kit is a good choice and excellent value for money, also made by KW - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ap-coilover-suspension-kitbr-lupo-10-14-14tdi-17sdi-1098-p-5089.html

As long as you stick with a good quality kit and don't go too low you'll be fine with coilovers for everyday road use.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
To be honest you'll most likely get a better ride quality by going for coilovers over just changing the springs and running them on standard shocks.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
To get that kind of drop the FK AK Street kit may be your best option, let me know if you need any info or prices.
Damian @ DPM Performance -
As mentioned H&R are the best quality spacers out there.
15mm will be bolt through 20mm and above will be bolt on.

Stick with a good quality springs and shocks kit and you'll be fine, something like the KW or Weitec kits are a great option.
Give me a shout if you need any prices.

The before dampers are basically a gas version of the standard shocks, the B8 dampers that are used in the B12 kit are monotube dampers with shortened pistons which are also nearly twice as thick.
