You might as well go for the Bilstein PSS's that Filx has.  They will be far better then the Patec's!

Update:
Coilovers haven't arrived yet but ill give it a week or 2 after xmas to get here. I just ordered some new seats and harnesses today, I'm getting Momo T-Club seats and Silvester Fia approved 5 point harnesses. Also im getting a full cage made up in a couple weeks. My Engine hasn't gone in yet because i am going to be getting a head from Eurospec in england and dad wants me to get the safety and handling aspect sorted out before i order the head. I am hoping to have the car back on the road by late January and then the engine in by late march.
Cheers Nick
