   well first you have to ask yourself if you want near standard dampers. If your dampers are in good condition its hardly worth getting the Streetline kit or that other one from tuning uk (they look like oe replacements to me)
   I'd look at getting an Eibach pro-kit spring and running them on the original setup (will lower 30mm and are designed for the standard shocks or pro-kit dampers)
   
   I can certainly order in a set if you want. I can probably beat the price but i'd need to make a call

   im looking for a 40mm drop all round and was just going to do the springs but quite a few people have told me that they would pay the extra and get the dampers aswel! i would b looking to pay around the 200 mark if anyone can point me in the direction of the best set for that sort of money!

   im looking to drop my S by the same (40mm) ideally wanting new dampers too. Not sure how much they are to be honest as i have no idea what brand, quality and the rest to be looking out for!
