Looks really good, would be better lowered.

Will soon, was gonna get hottunning coilies, but overall the reviews were not great, don't have money to burn, so looking to get a shock/spring kit, on the budget side but hopefully they should lower and still have some ride to em.  Was looking and 60 on the front isnt a lot, however it wouldn't go up my dads ramps when I need help so maybe 40 all round would be more sensible... :(
The nearest garage I've found that's interested in working on it charges 48 an hour so the more I cando the better! 

Shock and spring kit is much better than cheap coilovers.

Think this means buy shocks and springs at a guess

I still think coilovers are just as good I think your wheel spec and tyres have some play in ride quality my own car is running standard wheels with the correct profile tyres but if I was running bigger wheels with far lower profile tyres then the ride quality changes so for me my coilovers are fine.

Aren't hottunning, Jom, Jamex all the same thing? If not are Jom and Jamex the same? I fess cos running standard wheels/tyres I may get a reasonable ride at a reasonable drop..

Im not sure tbh Kell might be able to tell you my friend is running some Jom coilovers and he said there pretty decent think there abit more expensive than Hottuning.
