   you can just lower on springs,
   
   but obviously it wouldnt be as good
   
   something like this is a good value for money kit: http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...saxo-1119.html

   theyre only rears rob
   
   he would still need dampers and springs up front, something which £100 doesnt buy

   Essentially, for a road/ocassional track car Bilstein B8's are generally thought of as being the best for the money. They are expensive though.
   
   As such, I've sent you a pm that may interest you

    You wont get much for £50 each. Either spax dampers or maybe some made from playdough
