Not if you go direct to Koni roughly £40-50+vat for the front shocks and a little less for the rears.
I was talking about what warren was saying with custom stuff. Or is that what you are talking about too?

The standard shocks were made for the standard springs. Lowering it just on springs provides a really bouncy and unsafe ride IMO. A shock and spring set up made for one another will do the job much better.

front shocks alone are £120 each from Larkspeed for konis
Im not cutting springs 
Gmax 40mm kit sounds good, just want it a bit firmer and more responsive, not fussed if its a bit harsh tbh just not ridiculas and i dont want it stupidly low

GMAX is the way then. Warren's trying to be technical and failing miserably.

surely if you fit a redtop, the extra weight will lower it = make it handle better?

Gmax 40mm kit, nice price for what you want, slightly lower firmer ride.
No put spending silly money on something that is used to drive from A - B.

newtons law of gavity
the lower the center of gravity, the better it will handle
easy answer, fit a redtop, put the old engine it the back, and cut the springs

Excellent. Fill your car with concrete so its as low to the ground as possible and i'll take you round track in my auto rover. You said it yourself. The lower the better. You'll win hands down clearly.
