Hey contact TAS, they can do you some Bille inserts (oversized) with their own custom coilover legs for around £500 - top tarmac rally stuff! Just add your front springs and away you goes... Back sus should be ok, its front that needs upgrading first...

Its going to be needed for fast road and track days!
Unfortunately £400 is as much as i have set aside! I will upgrade in a year or so!

Im unsure on the fk as heard some bad stroies!
