   I'm lowering my car soon and found these coilies on eBay for what seems a good price and my mate bought some jom coilies for a similar price and they're pretty cheerful
   Coilies ---> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230888512052?redirect=mobile
   
   But I was also thinking along the lines of the apex xlow kit from kamracing because that's got everything like the shortened shocks etc. but only go to -50mm where the coilies claim to be up to -70.
   Just really looking for an opinion on what's better or whether to stay away from these coilies thanks!!

   You will soon notice that to get decent entry level coilovers for a saxo you have to spend about twice as much as other cars, you can spend £200 on a set of coilovers which are fairly decent for cars like vags, Vauxhalls etc but to get the same sort of quality with a saxo you have to spend about £400

   Why is that though? Surely should be less because of less components? Like no rear springs

   As Ross and the others said thwy are awfull matey (sh..y to install them and awfull handling). A friend of mine made the mistake to buy a set like that one and now he buyed a GAZ one but still don't have time to install them. Maybe if you want to upgrade your suspension buy a lowering kit feom KR or just more expensive coil kit, otherwise I think that you gonna waste your money with the one you choosed.
