Default Cheap upgrade dampers Saxo VTS

Hello
Im looking for a cheap but effective damper upgrade for my front/rear suspension on a SAXO vts 2001 98 hp

Anyone knows which one to prefer? I think bilstein is abit pricy for my budget
They should not lower the car only improve handling thx

Lowering the car will lower the centre of gravity giving a better handling car.

Personally for cheapness I would go with apexi springs and spax dampers and lower it 30mm

Spax do a good set called a vsx I think, £300 all in for shocks and springs

Im on my way to buy the new dampers but i cant decide.

Should i go with Spax dampers, Gaz adjustable or some bilstein citroen motorsport dampers? Which would be preferable for stiffness on short circuit tracks?

The bilstein is twice as expensive as GAZ.
