I wouldn't be the best person to answer buddy, I didn't do any of the work, that's how I bought the car a few months ago.
I've just got standard shocks on the now, with the lowering srpings and it handles really well imo
The turbo conversion aint 100% complete yet, but as far as I know it aint TOO difficult....I've got an Ofab ECU and Map Sensor from a FRST to get fitted yet, hopefully in the next month or two, then I can crank the boost up a bit.
