what suspension set up are you on (shox and springs/coilovers etc?)
just gettin ideas for a nice suspension set up for the sport,as its probably the first thing i want to do
i think il probably go for a KONI set up,but do they do a 60mm spring set?
if not id probably want Koni adjustable shox and some nice 60mm springs but who does a quality 60mm spring? spax?? 
i dont really want coilovers for my car to be honest..unless i saw some spax coilovers cheap
cheers

i have konis with -40mm front vogtland springs and 60mm rear jamex ones, they are awesome, car handles spot on
the nova is 60mm down on gmax stuff, and its not as bad as i expected, its relatively hard, but still handles quite nicely

Is it ok to mix and match different brands of shock and springs? e.g. Eibach springs on the front, Gmax on the rear with say Koni shocks?

yep, konis are brilliant, im glad i got mine, and the jamex springs were 60 quid and are very good too
so for 400 quid you'll get a set up which works better for the roads than coilovers and still improves the car
