V8 Vantage Shock and Spring options?

I am looking to replace my shocks on my 08 V8 Vantage Roadster. I was hoping to find options other then the costly OEM shocks. Id like to do both shocks and springs and lower the car. Are there any options other then the stock shocks?

I have tried and cannot find anything. Any suggestions?

Any suggestion between the 2>

Checked KW and they have several shock and spring packages. Nitron was far less clear. Nice thing it appears is that o0n the KW the ride height is adjustable. Are there Bilstein options?

I think Rich (redpants.lol) is developing a new coil over setup.

I may change gears on this if they don't deliver what I asked for. I'm not going to sell something I'm not completely happy with, so if the end result isn't good enough, I'll go a different route. I already have a backup plan

What I am looking for is a set up thats fine on the street and lowers the car a bit. And Ideally something that is more affordable. I have a 25k mile car with shocks starting to leak. So this is a repair issue but if I have to spend the money like to have it be an upgrade
