JoeHK,
if you're on a limited budget (most of us are I guess), and your main intention is lowering the car, perhaps you can consider some decent lowering springs, and combine it with a tower strut at the front. You'd spend something like 450-ish € on parts then. Basically, the stock dampers are Showa's, and I can't say I find them really bad. I'm on full stock suspension as it's already quite low with the aero kit I have, but combined with (reinforced side) 18" 35's the ride is not exacly 'soft'. As ElBarto said, a lot changes when you change the tyres and rims.
If you're no planning regular track use, fully adjustable shocks are perhaps a bit overkill when you actually only want lowering. On top of that, it does require a bit of 'feel' to properly set them up (of course you can find settings for them on an 86 forum, but efficient track setup isn't always the same as 'fun' and nice for daily use).
When you want a performance upgrade, cheapest and best value for money you'll get it from the tyres. Increases cornering speed massively.
