Just about to buy a suspension kit for my car it's for fast road use and maybee a track day at some point have done some digging around and narrowed it down to two kits and just want some advice as to what's best for handling

The H&R coilover kit doesnt look right, you wont go wrong with the B12 kit though, im sure you would get it cheaper than that? H&R -35 springs may be better suited if your going to use it on track as they are stiffer than the Eibach springs

I have fitted the H and R Sport 60 - 40 Cup kit. Not the coil over type though just the standard springs and dampers. I am really happy with them. Car sits well, and drives even better. Perfect for fast road!

I will take some tomorrow and post them if it will be helpful. I think it sits really well.
I remember researching about suspension kits on here before I purchased mine, and I nearly didn't go for it because of all the remarks about how low it will sit, sumps being smashed off daily etc.
Glad I did buy it though, as I have had no problem with clearance, and wouldn't want it to sit any higher to be honest.
I understand that its maybe a little to low for the oem look, but for fast road use I would recommend it whole heartedly.
P.S. I will admit that the rear camber looks a little extreme but as of yet (7 months and 3000 miles) I haven't had any handling/tyre issues.

Rear beams can be bought or modified to correct excessive tyre wear to the inside edge BTW....
