Ap coilovers are known on here and Briskoda as being very good quality and value, they'd also be bang on budget for you. The general consensus of Jom's and other coils priced at around £200 is you get what you pay for...

I have had both spring/shock combo and cheap FK coilovers. If it's ride quality you're mainly after I would suggest a Koni Yellow adjustable damper shock set and H&R 35mm drop springs. A seriously great combo for handling and when the shocks are are wound to the softest setting it really is like riding on stock suspension :D But if you want to have some fun just wind the fronts a couple of turns and get all fast and furious!

Depending on what drop you're after that's my suggestion, however if you want to "really" low this won't get you there :(
