yes!!! i'd go for a quality coil over kit if i was you, if your planning on 15" rh's euro look you'll want to adjust the ride height so it sits perfect and there is no point paying out for 2 lots of suspension so you may aswell do it properly 1st time round.

my mate had a spax adjustable coilover kit on his corsa and it was bloody good, i think it was around £550 but he got it from halfords for £250 as someone ordered it then never wanted it.

FK's are about £300.

TBH Springs are shit, unless you get shocks that are matched to the springs you'll need new shocks anyway as they won't cope. as said, do it properly first time round, you sound like you have some good ideas / plans, don't fuck it up by sticking shit on it!!!
