   Alright guys.
   Looking to lower the car sometime into the new year, going for 50mm.
   I found this kit on egay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-SAXO-1...ayphotohosting
   
   Any good?
   If not, any recomendations on kits for around the £200 budget?
   
   Cheers

   I'd go low on just springs, but anything over 40mm i thought i would need dampers + shocks?

   Obviously it's better if you get the shocks etc, but springs will be okay for the time being.

   Oh, sounds good to me
   Though even if i just ride on springs for now, will i need the same brand of shocks and dampers in the future? as the springs..

   you can use any shocks and dampers to upgrade in the future, i would go for eibach sportline springs as there alot better than spax.

    spax are shit. you'll be fine fitting springs on standard dampers for now but you will compromise some ride comfort. Spend a few quid more and go for bilstein or koni. try the Kam Racing site

    I'd rather fit the Eibach sportline. Not a massive fan of spax stuff TBH
