Classic road/track suspension set up on a budget!
As the title really, I'm completely skint after doing my first trackday but already itching to do another one! After fitting 17" x 7.5 ET45 wheels to my scoob it looks like it needs lowering an inch or so, but I'm on a seriously tight budget so want to know what I should be looking at to upgrade in the suspension area, bearing in mind I've only got a few hundred quid at most to throw at it!
My current thinking was some decent quality branded ~25mm lowering springs from Tein/Eibach or similar, and hold out for some cheap Whiteline/CDF ARB parts, solid droplinks and polybushes all round maybe. Any other suggestions would be greatly received however!

How much roll stiffening have you got fitted at the moment? ARB's would be my starting point for track improvement on a super tight budget.
Tein & Eibach springs will lower the car more than 25mm, more like 30mm+ and this will have a detrimental effect to the handling. Car will probably end up an understeering mess around tight Angelsey
