Indeed. This is the route I will be taking when the time comes. I believe
it will provide the best handling, because it certianly provides the best
geometry.

That's a photo I put up from Classic and Sportscar which is the magazine
that brought this kit - by Niel Revington - to my knowledge.
At 200 UKP, I think it is comparable in price to the price of the Koni
setup.
If you search the archives, at http://www.listquest.com , you'll find more
messages and info that I posted about this kit. (also search the 6-Pack
archives, as the discussions vary between the two lists).
If I were not to opt for the Revington setup, I'd use the one by NAR Inc.
http://www.narinc.com which uses a massive bracket, which is bolted to the
old lever arm damper bracket. My initial concerns about this kit were
remedied when a lister confirmed that upon full travel of the wheel that the
bracket does not come into contact with the body. There is some doubt as to
how large the size of your wheels can be with this kit, stock wheels are
fine.
Keep in mind also that Spax has filed for bankruptcy in the UK...
