Theres a lad on type R owners selling a set of Eibach springs for good money
When you do lower it its an absolute MUST to get the camber done, Eibach camber bolts will do the trick and get the fast road set up done
You can pick up a JDM spec rear ARB for £70 delivered and a tie bar for £55 to your door. You can fit both in an hour yourself as well
All that lot will make the car handle like its on rails

is there much risk in buying oldish CTR's since a lot of them have probably been abused

You get that risk with any car nowadays imo. Just look out for a clean low miler with a decent service history and you should be fine.

I was told they were tein but after having the car up on ramps they are ebaiches  . No bumpier for every day use then standard just a little firmer. Still goes over speedbumps nicely. Although it does look visually lower
