Are these full ohlins? Or do they use bilstein cases for the front?

Definitely full Ohlins (direct from the factory in Sweden). The piston is 40mm on the front .

If you wanted, I can even supply a set for an additional Ł338 that have adjustable eccentric top mounts built in, like you see on the rally cars .

Ohlins here l come

What about other handling mods Dave? Such as adjustable TCA's, rose joints, rear beam etc. Seems pointless spending 3k on suspension without looking at these as well?

Dave, all this spend, spend spend on YUM. Hope you are going to put it too good use on the track? I know it will have to be a full noise day because of your exhaust, but would be a shame to have a proper escos and not use it on track

Dave's bufty queen, so it will just be for showing .

The noise that exhaust will make, I bet he'll even be kicked off a loud day .
