has noone got a cheaper option  :'( :'( :'(

What would be the result of using 'standard' prefacelift springs?
(guessing not being matched to the shocks, a higher, unstable ride?)

Not ideal.

Trouble, is at the price for the pair (the trade club price is for 2) you could get some eibach's

and given the car has a removable tow hook, and the likely conversion to LPG....

Should I be getting the 'towing' versions?

how do these affect the ride the rest of the time?
