Type 44 Swaybar Questions..or: Listing Like A Spanish Galleon

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that aftermarket suspension modifications for the Type 44 I have are limited to H&R springs, Eibach springs (?) and of course swapping the swaybars...with good dampers in place of the stock units.

If I'd like to have adjustable ride height and spring rate, the ONLY way to go right now is the 2Bennett coilovers.  And they ain't cheap, but if I'm going to splurge anywhere, it'll probably be the suspension and the brakes.  The engine is fast enough with a QLCC chip and better intercooler ;)

I know Jesper Moreau has these on his car, so Jesper, if you're listening:  how do you like them?

If I do a brake upgrade like BIRA's or 2Bennets' I'll have to amscre the stock wheels entirely.  That's fine.  

Cheers,
