id avoid buying off the shelf to be honest. there's UK based manufacturers who are willing to do custom valving and spring rates based on your needs at very reasonable cost.
i had gaz build me a gold pro/ standard hybrid kit with short arms and long travel for my mx5- price wise it was somewhere between the off the shelf standard and pro kits . i had to wait for the build but having compared it to other kits it gave an excellent b-road ride even when very low indeed.
obviously their kit may not work well with scoobs but it taught me that suspension setup is so personal that any input you can get on how damper and spring rates are set is worth a lot. if like me you haven't got a huge r and d budget for your 3k runaround talking to an actual suspension designer at the factory is pretty helpful in that regard.
