   your looking at £120 - £150 for lowering mate.
   
   id buy the full suspension kit if you can afford it rather than just springs

   Depends if you supply the spring and bars or just the springs , or if you ask the garage to get them for you , also depends where you go to get it all done .

   OK cheers for the rough price. Im willing to pay that.
   
   Also how low should I go?
   
   I want to be able to have 3 people in back without it rubbing like my last saxo id. I have standard 14 inch alloys, but the back looks really high.

   would that rub with people in the back and would it be hard going over bumps?

    If your mechanically minded you could give it ago yourself, some people on here have. But if not, best to be on the safe side and pay someone to do it.
    
    Edit: think there is a guide somewhere? or am i wrong? lol
