    Looks and handling I'd go down 45/50mm.
    
    Eibach Springs (Sportline) and Blisten Dampers - expensive setup, but good.
    
    GMax are okay from what I have read, so are Apex and Spax are okay.

    My VTS has this setup, Billie B8's with Eibachs and the ride is awesome, very firm, slightly harsh at times, but i love it!

    Thanks all for the advice
    
    Now I just need to know how much is the total setup likely to cost me?
