I have a set of Prodrive springs on my car and they have improved the handling and the comfort level as well , RSEdwards fitted them for me and he is quite reasonable with his charges as well.

You would need a geometry alignment as well after fitment, David Coe in Gorseinon did mine and again was reasonable.

they are about £15-20 from any good motor factor or halfords mate not hard to do! plus once you have them they will always come in handy

fitting at a garage would cost around £45 a corner plus you might need a wheel allignment session after as lowering will give u more negative camber
