   billy's with eibach springs?
   
   
   can you supply links to the products so I know how much etc, I dont wana go much lower than 40mm to be honest as it defy's the object of buying uprated suspenion for better handling
   
   
   also I want something drivable..
   
   not too stiff but handles well..
   
   standard like feel to drive yet amazing handling! ps dont wana spend anything near 1000 ideally between £2-400

   GMC kit is just the Saxo Bilstein Sprintline kit with their own springs.
   Get just the dampers and then get some 30mm H&R's or even better a set of faulkner springs and you are sorted.
   The Eibach pro-kit will be too soft for the group N dampers that come with the Sprintline kit...

   the other option you have is the Peugeot 106 Bilstein Sprintline kit - Its not got the group N front shocks so is a lot cheaper.

   If you want a smooth ride dont get billies!!!
   
   They are solid..
   
   I got mine from here..

   But the ride is probably as hard as you will get tbh..

    Billie sports and H&R 30mm springs.
    
    I have them on mine and are not too hard at all. Much firmer than standard but still comfy when cruising. All in they were about £440 from motorsportworld.
