I went the cheap route and bought some JOM 60/40 (don't laugh) matched shocks and springs for £ 50 delivered. A bargain and handles well enough,  but a definite harsh ride. On a budget and will only fit 2nd hand or used items, unless they are crucial to safety !
Daily driver by the way too.  The front spoiler catches when reversing out of some drives and kerbs when parking but can straddle mose speed humps when driving solo. A different matter with passengers though.
Always fit new mounts and ensure the front mounts are fitted the correct way as the ones that came of mine were not.
No pics, but looks good. 16v model.

I've just had a peer out of the window and mine looks to be the same as screech's with the front just a touch lower than the rear.

Mines supposed to be 40, i purchased them second hand so cant be sure,koni front and rear.I also have 25mm spacers on the rear in the first pic,maybe that makes it look different .
