All depends on budget. Ignore JOM, hottuning, pro sport as they are nowt but crap.

From about £700+ you'll be looking at the like's of GAZ.

Also depends wether you just want the car slammed (JOM etc) or for handling (GAZ etc)

have a look in the F/S section here & ebay.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Coilovers sre generally nasty for road use. Unless you need to have the car stupidly low (more than 60mm) a set of proper springs are far better.

Cheap coilies are alright for track use. It's potholes that bugger them.
