   would be wary of buying anything 'universal' to be honest... they quite often need a bit of work to fit correctly. as for a saxo specific kit... a quick google search turned up this : link i know its a mk1 but could ask them for advice/kits/prices etc

   yer avoid universal badged products, im not clued up on hydraulics on saxos but i imagine the rear would be abit of a struggle as its a fixed beam

   would need solid beam mounts on the rear, and hydraulics vs torsion bar... dunno how long the torsion bars would last, and i dont think you would get much lift from hydraulics.

   I was gonna say try air ride, but I haven't had any 1st hand experience, just know people manage to rig it up onto almost any car.
