Cost mainly, So i'm going to have a play with spring rates, I only use Gas Gold's on the MK3 with high ib front springs this is enough to be a class record holder so i wonder what the gain would be on a side by side test.

There's a group by on bilstiens from awesome GTi if interested, there £745 with gb discount from like £980

Not sure B16 will do for a race car... My B16 is super for both road and track (were, depending on the track the maximum stiffness is 10/10) but only for track am an not sure it will do.
This is why I asked about the KW V3 (most reviews say these are equivalent)... From Bilstein I would chose from their racing line (aka non street legal) suspensions.

Looking great mate, if you don't mind me asking what is the cost of flocking?

Nice that's not to bad, I was tempted to have some of the dash flocked. But was worried about the price
