Don't buy AVO's, had nothing but problems with them on all of my old RS Turbos.

Gaz are meant to be pretty good and also offer coil overs for the rear, they advise strengthening the rear turrets for this set up although I know people that haven't.

Yep those ones. Probably be able to get them cheaper else where. Burton have always been quite expensive.
