I run FK Silverlines.

 

Any cheap Coilover, ProSport, Streets, TA Technix, JOMS will all feel the same, you pay for what you get. Obviously if you are winding all the way down the ride really wont feel much different. 

What exactly is it you're after? You mention budget which brigs up some other issues, your insurance will normally increase after declaring a modification so if funds are tight budget for that before you start and ask your insurer how much you're looking at. If you want the lowered look then springs will be cheaper and potentially less problematic as you'll not need shorter drop links and should lead to less creaking but remember that you've got things such as top bearings and mounts to consider replacing. If it's to improve the quality of the ride you won't do that spending under £50 a corner on budget coil overs. I suspect they and JOM's etc come out of the same factory so have a read on the longer term feedback and especially comments about ride quality.

 

On the up side DPM are well thought of and have sorted out warranty issues for others on the budget shocks they sell.

As said really, you get what you pay for!

I'm in the market for coilovers currently and can't decide either but I'm thinking of going down the ProSport route due to the 5 year warranty with DPM. Have used DPM for all the suspension I've had on various VAG cars and their service is second to none!

If you can afford to then the AP coilovers get rave reviews on here (currently seeing if I can stretch to them!)
