Right i have bilstein magnesium coil overs fitted on the front of my car with tarmac springs and i also have the same but gravel springs for the rear but i havent fitted these as i have a few small bits missing my question is this would i be better off to sell this complete set up and put some other coil overs on my car as these are more track day not road set up and if so which coil overs are the ones to go for

Mike Rainbird does some excellent Black Art coilovers, they are made by someone who used to work for Leda apparently and Mike swears by them.
They aren't cheap but that shouldn't be a problem for you

Adamski has a set of those BAD coilovers they looked the bollocks

I have to say thou I love the way my Koni and Ahmed springs feel and couldn't be tempted to coilovers but if you need them for wheels then the BAD seem a good choice. The only other coilover that would tempt me would be the H&R kit as it also feels good for the road

i also have the Black Art Coilovers on mine.

basically the same as what the Leda's used to be but with high speed valving and slightly better adjustment control.

Dunc - give Mike a shout, i believe has a set in stock anyway - and just short of £1300 if i remember correctly
