Technical Uno turbo shocks and springs
Since the UNO Turbo is considerably heavier than the other models it´s
springs will be way off the optimum for any other UNO models.
Just forget about it.
Shocks will work but stiffen the ride.

Johorridoh is spot on in his answer. Go and get some lowering springs for the 1108, Only these will lower. On the other hand, be prepared for a life of rub, as 15 inch wheels are rubbing almost every time you hit a pothole.
I am after a stiffer ride? happy to loose a bit of comfort if it'll stiffen things up. so are the springs same diameter? talking to couple of lowering shops in new zealand they can only find lowering springs for Uno Turbos. If they're same diameter ill give them a try and see how it goes.

You can try, but the weight difference of 100+ kilo will not lower the car. Look on the German and British ebay, plenty of lowering for 1108s
Don't do it. Almost all the extra weight of a Uno Turbo, compared to non-Turbo Unos, is at the front. So spring requirements are totally different; results would be unpredictable in understeer/oversteer.
