looks finkin 30mm about £150

if your looking for 30mm

get eibatch sportlines or prolines

prolines are 25mm drop, a much harder ride, but good for performance,

sportlines are 30-35mm drop, alot smoother ride than prolines, but obiously not quite as good for performance.

25mm drop was wat they said they would do for me

if theyre a very good set of springs it may be a reasonable price,
however,

i could change a set of springs in 2 hours easy, (and im no mechanic)
and assuming theyre charging £40 per hour,

theyre stinging you 145 for the springs,

Some info for you:-
Eibach Pro Kit

Are you familiar with the concept of a progressive-rate spring design? It's the secret behind the Eibach Pro Kit lowering spring package, and the reason you can install an Eibach Pro Kit on your everyday driver without punishing yourself and all your passengers. Progressive-rate springs like those in the Eibach Pro Kit have different winding densities. What that means is that as the spring compresses, it becomes more resistant to compression. More simply put, with your Eibach Pro Kit, if you drive lightly, you'll get a smooth, comfortable ride. If you drive hard, you'll get a firm, controlled ride. The perfect balance, right? The Eibach Pro Kit also drops your car's stance from 1 to 1.5 inches or so, reducing the gap in your fenderwells and lowering your vehicle's center of gravity. That means that even when you're not using the Eibach Pro Kit to its full potential, you're still getting better handling from your new springs. Each Eibach Pro Kit is a full set of springs specifically tailored to your vehicle so installation goes smoothly and the quality is exceptional. In fact, Eibach gurantees their Eibach Pro Kit for a million miles. So if you've been thinking about lowering your car, do it the safe, easy, and cost effective way: Add an Eibach Pro Kit.
Eibach Sportline Springs

Eibach Sportline springs are the next step up after the Pro Kit in Eibach's performance suspension hierarchy. When compared to the Pro Kit, Eibach Sportline springs lower the car more significantly—up to 2.3 inches total, so your wheels are really tucked up into your wheelwells for a race car look. Even with this extreme degree of lowering, though, you don't lose ride quality because the Eibach Sportline springs utilize the same progressive spring design as the Pro Kit. Basically, it means that the Eibach Sportline springs don't flex their muscles until you ask them to. If you call upon your vehicle to deliver exceptional levels of handling performance, then Eibach Sportline springs are what you want to install. Acceleration squat, body roll, and braking dive are all nearly eliminated using Eibach Sportline springs, and you'll love the way your car sits when fitted with the larger wheels popular today. And since Eibach Sportline springs are part of the Eibach family of products, you get their famous million-mile warranty backing up your installation. For the ultimate drop without having to worry about parts quality, you only have one way to go: Eibach Sportline springs.
