   about £200 depending on condition, not really worth much more IMO.

   The ride is.... hard. You will feel every bit of the road and some bumps will feel like potholes lol. Aside from that handling is brilliant

   had B8 fronts and rears with faulkner 155lbs/inch springs (not sure of the H&R spring rate)
   
   they were good! I upgraded to groupN's with harder springs, but although cornering was better, I hated driving the car with others in etc.
   
   B8's are a nice compromise, you don't really need a stiffer set up unless you plan on breaking the speed limit by a fair amount round a B road / plan on going on track a fair bit.
