1.4 16v suspension upgrade

So i cant get insured on a vrs, yet (im 22) and it looks like my shocks have gone.

Is it worth uprating them to a vrs set or similar i want something a little better than the standard set up, not to fussed about it being lowered just a slightly stiffer ride would suit me.

Will the VRS set fit mine?

If not does anyone know of any decent packages out there either used or new to go for?
