or is it recomended to get matched lowering shockers with springs ??

Just get the full setup mate.
If not you will cost yourself in the long run when the shockers go to fuck

You can usually pick up a full Gmax kit for around £200, not the best quality but you get what you pay for and it will lower it.

surely they must be better than standard shockers ? but with an added bonus of lowering the car too

Yes a full Gmax kit will be better than just springs on old nackered shockers.

spax are the best 'budget' stuff imo.
stay clear of g-max, worst suspension I have ever experienced.
