Smile is it worth doing coilovers all round?

Hi im the new guy curently converting a xr3i into a sprint car so far-

twin 45 webbers
racing head ported and polished with a stage 4 racing newham cam
rs turbo brake converion
goodridge lines
full polly bush set on order

and plans for a lot more next on the list is suspention now is it better to get a good set of front coilovers and a new standerd set on the back which u can adjust ride heaight and dampeners or to go for the cheap coilovers all round that u can only adjust the ride height on?

any advice would be gr8 thx

damping is a gd thing to be able to adjust but only if you know what you are doing.

i know people that have brought "cheap" coillie and they just dont last, but that is on a slammed car tho so you maybe ok.

If you want a good handling sprint car which puts down well, then get it set up by someone that knows what they are doing ( sorry if you do know)
