   im pretty sure vts and r springs are the same
   
   they are harder then the rest of the range so wont lower smaller engined models

   how low do you want to go? if you only want to lower by 25-30mm and on a budget standard shocks will do.you can get springs for next to nothing.

   so out of interest, standard springs from a different saxo or 106 wouldnt do the trick
