Why do you need coilovers on a road car? Put it this way, some Eibach springs alone cost about £100...that suggests your £200 isn't going to be enough.

Shell - so you mean cheap coilovers are fashionable and clearly give you an advantage with the ladies?

£200 spent on springs and dampers would be better than £200 spent on coilovers
there's no point having adjustable front suspension on a car with rear torsion beams unless you are going really really low

Get springs and dampers, as someone already said coilovers not very handy on a car with torsion beam and only decent if "slamming" it
