it might also help to know what car it is for!!

thousand aussie bucks is about 450quid for info, and at that you could get some half decent springs and shocks.

you could also try, they are closer to your home

Can't beat the Eibach / Bilstein combo but that will come to about AUS$1500+ fitted.
I got some Eibach springs second hand (hardly used) on eBay for around $350 but that took quite a few months of waiting for them to come up.
I found it is actually a lot cheaper to get an Eibach ProKit sent over from the UK or US than to buy it here. Demon Tweaks (UK - google them) quoted me about $500 shipped to my door and Pelican Parts (US) were similar. They seem to retail in Australia for about $800-$900
I am well pleased with the performance of my Eibach / Bilstein B4 set up - looks good and performs very well with a decent ride for street use. Very glad I didn't go for cheaper Kings springs or similar.
PM me if you want anymore details
