Bilstein B4's work well and are good value for money, but remember that they're really OE replacements rather than massively uprated.
Might want to double check which part numbers they're supplying though, as those rear dampers in the picture look quite skinny and might well be base model spec ones. Never tried the base model 306 ones, but if they're anything like the ones they were supplying in error for 205 GTi's for years then they're likely to be so under-damped that they will be bordering on dangerous.
Indeed, the whole auction doesn't sit right as there's no way that one setup will possibly cover all those variants listed - the weight of an alloy block 1.4 is probably half what a GTi-6 is for example once you factor in the gearbox, and thus need quite different springs to achieve a given ride height. I'm guessing the seller doesn't have a clue.
