Quite an old wheel, some one had them on a 206 but they were deep dished and only 15's, i think these will look good being 17's and the black and silver will go well, just make sure you lower the back the same amount as the front and don't "slam" it!

be patient and you will find something better in here. 
most people sell their lowering spring for less than 40 quid on here (good brand like eibach and such)
i trust used eibach than unknown spring; have seen too many times cheap spring snap/ broken before

I know that the sports are stiffer and lower than pro's. When i said cheaper ones i meant like the ones he's bought! I'm sure they'll be fine if a little stiff! I'm sure we've all done it. My Nova had some terribly stiff springs, they gave me the looks and handling so i didn't care!

Depends what you want.
I got Apex springs for about £60 and they really are excellent for the price.
