Suggestions for budget lowering shocks for golf mk1?

The cheapest that I know of to be the Bilstein B8 which are well expensive. Bilstein B4 Sport which are meant to be the shorter budget version don't seem to exist for Golf mk1, and I don't want to be putting lowering springs onto standard OEM length shocks. So does anyone know any shocks which are around £60-70, but I can lower 30-40mm on them safely?

Speak to theses guys, they sell a kit with everything in so they might be able to sell some shocks.
You will need shorter bump stops when lowering the car or you will easily bottom out on the standard bump stops.

 I can recommend these, fitted them last year to my sportline, from the same supplier.

Thanks for the suggestion fellas, but this is nothing but a OEM height Bilstein B4 with some lowering springs, this I would like to avoid. That's why I was asking if there was something at this price range, but with actually shorter shocks then standard OEM height ones

The kit is a 40mm drop from standard and the shocks work fine for standard road use.
If you had a shorter front shock it would be lose in the strut housing unless you get the shock and strut housing in one.

I’ve never had a problem fitting standard height shocks to a lowering spring and mine cars gone from standard height to lowered, back to standard then 2 different lowering kits over the 30 years I been driving it.

There might be some shocks out there but probably best talk the the manufacturer or maybe someone else will help. 

IMHO, there are no "cheap" shortcuts on suspension parts, whether you are lowering it, raising it, or getting it back to OEM.  

Remember your Geometry when making changes to your suspension.

I have found that lowering it, usually results in a Stiffer ride.  and that you may need to invest in Strut bars for the chassis.

I only asked because there was the cheaper 'Bilstein B4 Sport', but sadly it doesn't exist for Golf Mk1, only for some other cars.
Thanks for the advice tho!
