Default Suspension setup for sti3 for £600

Slowly but surely getting the scooby how I want.
Looking for advice on suspension setups. One of the dampers needs replacing on the sti, so may aswell replace the whole lot. Do I go standard or uprated?
I may do the odd track day here and there, but it is primarally my everyday car.
I personally don't have any complaints about how it handles at the moment, but any improvment will obviously be welcomed. Would really like new top mounts just so I know that they'll be good for many miles.

Around £600 budget for parts.

A good set of P1 parts or V6 Type R.
Call David at Welcome to the API website
Tell him '911' sent you. He could have a set there.

Worth a try. Think I've decided on standard sti shocks with a slightly lower spring, maybe eibach?
Will give him a call today.
Or if he's about on here...........?

That would be good. The Sti system for the road is very good.
