Default Classic fast road suspension

Hi, I've been looking at Coilovers of late but I'm starting to think that's not the right way to go for me.
My shocks are scrap as it stands so I need a new set up.
Looking at a budget of around £1000 for the 4 corners.
Currently have Whiteline adjustable rear ARB and links and standard front ARB.

What would you guys recommend?

1998 classic
350bhp
Fast road use.

Thanks, Steve

Pedders do a full platform suspension complete with springs and strut tops for well under your budget

I'm in the same boat. My understanding of what's needed for my UK2000 MY00 turbo is:

P11-6 spring set - red (to lower the front) with
KYB agx suspension (http://www.subaru4you.co.uk/suspension/agxGC8SET.shtml)

Thanks

Nick

P11L (P11-6 was the prototype designation) with bump stop kit £285
Kyb excel g struts £250 - you don't need the agx's
WR15R/T need the agx's - setting 3 front, 5 rear
Koni inserts are nice, but require installing in your existing strut housings. They work with both the P11L and the WR15R/T

Thanks

Whiteline kca335 front off-set top mounts £140-150 - group N type rubber
Standard rear top mounts pair £90 import car parts - Don't bother with group N version, at the rear.

They were due, at Eibach UK, yesterday - I've not had confirmation, yet.

Thanks. So if I'm ordering the KYB excel g struts will they be twin tube and should I state this when I add myself to the group buy for the P11 L with bump stop kit?

Sorry about noob questions - suspension is still a black art to me.
