Yep £100 for the full job, just bring along whichever springs (and dampers if you have sufficient budget for those too) that you'd like fitting.

Not one of the most popular choices, mainly because the majority go with the more well known brands, they'll do the job for a budget.

A small risk as it's unlikely the dampers will ever get to full extension, but they're best used with the Apex shortened dampers which are a very good bit of kit for the price, the full kit can be bought for just over £200

Which 15 inch alloys are you getting? On the 1.1 flat arch models the wheel choice can be more significant to causing rubbing more than lowering, so if they're aftermarket alloys rather than a standard one from 106/saxo options then check that the offset is correct.
There's a few good threads with pictures of all sorts of heights so well worth a quick look to see how low you'd like to go :-)
