Default where to buy konis?

hi everyone, want to start looking into lowering my car and have decided to go for koni's 40mm drop. i want a full kit for my s2...

where's the best/cheapest place to buy them from?
i can do all the work myself, just need the parts!!

best place is woodford garage. if you've still got the abs system on the car i wouldnt go lower than 25mm. most people remove the system due to its totally useless.

heard bad things about coilovers breaking the top of the chassis where they bolt to, as these cars are not made for them on the rear..
it was an option i was looking into but was put off by this.
