I have apex 50mm lowering springs and standard shocker/dampers.

As apex is budget suspension which dampers would be best paired with my apex springs, will bilstein acccomodate my springs ???

I would like to get a better brand of dampers than apex if possible

What do people suggest?

Bilstein B8's or some Gaz dampers.

I dont think GAZ are in the same league as Bilstein. If its a road car I think Bilstein are one, if not the best dampers you can buy (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-suspension/shock-absorbers/bilstein-b8-damper-kit-for-citroen-saxo.html).

Definitely purchasing the Bilstein b8's next question is...how much lower is a vtr standard straight out the factory? As the eibach springs lower 45mm which would be perfect but that 45mm estimation covers all models so I'm guessing on a vtr they would only lower the front around 25mm - 30mm is that correct?

Real world lowering is about 40mm on the VTR/VTS with the Eibach Springs (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-suspension/lowering-springs/eibach-sportline-springs-citroen-saxo.html)

Ive always used Bilstein B8s with eibach springs on my mk2 red vts.
And only ever lowerd it all round at 40mm..

I use Bilstein B12 with Eibach springs.
It's the sportline not the pro tho, so it's to low to be honest
