Im looking into making the suspension better on my car for when a larger lump goes in(1.6 16v) and have been looking into a few things which I really need to know more about before I commit to buy anything.

I currently have a Front Upper Adjustable Strut Brace, and a PI 50mm Suspension Kit fitted, but can't help but feel the suspension kit is abit cheap.

A few things I want to know:
.Are Coil Overs really the best thing to go for? if so, what brand and kti would you recommend?

.Do strut braces make that much of a difference, Ive been looking at an OMP Rear Strut Brace and an OMP Front Lower Brace, just wondered if it was better to have them along with the front upper brace I already have?

.I've heard alot about Whiteline ARB's to being on here, whats the best option to go for on these, Im sure I have heard before that its better to remove the front on and add a whitline one to the rear?

Cheers

best road car setup without spending silly money in my opinion is as follows:

Bilstein B10 kit
Whiteline rear ARB
New front tie bar/front lower arm/rear beam bushes
front ARB removed
good tyres

seems to give a stable, comfortable, well balanced ride.
