I strongly recommend the CDF group buy on the drop links and alk kit. I've just bought and fitted them, the improvement is incredible.

Unlike other well known companies, these don't rust. They are currently designing a ARB which i'm also waiting for. I went and fitted the drops and alk without the ARB and its still fantastic. Hope this helps.

Yeah I've seen their Group Buy but actually I'm looking for a second hand units ATM :-(
I might go coilovers instead, just waiting for people opinions in my other thread.
Thanks a lot buddy.

I didi exactly the same and waited for nearly a year. They seem to go really quicky and for nearly £100 delivered and even the newest have ones have already started to rust. I bit the bullet in the end as they were nearly half price compared to white line.

As for the BC's, i'm aware that CP autos are doing them fitted and set up for £850 at the mo. You'll obviously save on labour if you get the other parts fitted at the same time.

I'm now waiting for the arb and then going for a full geo set up hopefully with rich@fbtuning.

What i can say, again is with just the drop links and ALK i;ve still yet to make the tyres squeal like i use to be able to and it just seems to grip and grip.

I will be fine with fitting coilovers myself so additional £100 for geo setup and I'll sorted :-)

I know that best bet would be to fit coilovers, ARB's and ALK but it cost and due to accident I've recently had (£600 for bringing my car back to live again) I can't afford to get all these at once.
At the moment my budget is around £700 so:
Option 1
- BC coilovers plus geo setup

Option2
- ARB's, ALK plus geo setup

Plan is to do some track days soon so looking for an option that would suit better on the track. The car is mainly used to travel to work and back (5 miles each way) so I don't really mind about stiff setup. I want to focus on track preparation ATM and trying to figure out what would be my better route now ?

I'll pm CDF and see what price delivered for above set of susp components they can offer. I will know then the price difference compared to coilovers.
