Anti Roll Bar

 If you go 40mm or lower it can rub the drive shaft.

I might seem really stupid but how can i do this is it easy to fit and expensive etc.
Thanks for your help guys

Right, answer these questions:

-Why are you lowering the car? For looks/Handling or both?
-what's the maximum you'll spend on the whole set up and fitting?
-Are you handy with a spanner? Or will the garage do all the work?

A good/cheap compromise is to use Eibach -30mm springs which are of a good quality, offer a good, smooth ride & are engineered to be used with the OEM (standard) shocks.  The lower you go, the greater the strain on the associated suspension bushes, so they will wear out more quickly.

ps  Me thinks your garage is trying to extract a few extra pennies from your wallet, LOL!
