Got £200 - £300 to spend, on shocks and springs wants at least 80 rear (as have 60 now) and 40 maybe 60 front, so adjustable probably best coilovers
Whats best heard dodgy things about FK? oh and need place to have in stocks and send very very fast

Fk one's are much the same price, there are ones on lmf for under £200, depends if you ever want you're car to go round corners, but by decking it 80mm i doubt you're really wanting them for performance, so i'd get cheap ones.

I have an Apex kit which is pretty good imo, but is set at 60mm. See pics near end of my garage for how it sits.

You could buy the kit and then get some 80mm springs off the guy on here that makes them, someone will definitely buy the 60mm rears as people are always after them. I sold some second hand Gmaxes after 1 day, so someone will definitely have brand new Apexes off you.
Nicely within your budget too, I got the kit for £240 inc. postage off Venom Motorsport.

I reckon it's pretty good albeit a bit bumpy, but that comes with being lowered anyway. Takes most corners pretty flat 
It'll be a lot better with better tyres than I have now as well Currently on 165/70/13's

To be fair mate I only have and old Spax kit to compare it to. The ride is a lot better with my new kit and it corners just as well.
With a budget of £300, you're not going to get the best kit in the world. Think about doubling it, then you're nearly there.
