Searching through old threads like this...
Eibachs are now £180 and for not much more you can get coilovers. I'm never going to drop them silly low (40mm at the most) but the adjustablity would be nice.
Has anyone heard about the cheaper brands of coilver? (Vmaxx, performance 3000, pro sport, FK AK. etc etc)

Not sure about those brands. Koni do some for £300...
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performanc...rs-rear-25-30mm

Also AP for about £500 which ain't bad...
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performanc...rs-rear-35-65mm

Both links are fixed damping rate
I think I'll go to coilovers at some point in the future.

I looked at getting fixed damper/spring set up like the Koni's
Also seen some Direnza coilovers. I've heard of the name but never heard how good there products are, if that makes sense?

Are AP's worth the extra? Probably the "safest" to go for being the most well known.
Trying to save like made to get them but a holiday to Ireland and the Snap On man keep getting in the way of it!

It being £100 less doesn't seem quite right though lol

Might be worth speaking to Dan the Man. He had Gaz's and rated them highly, but i think he had gaz golds
