as for springs i am in protracted discussions to hopefully have an Eibach "special" which will be as near to the P1 kit as we can get without infringing any copyright or political boundaries...............

Would it be possible to get close to the P1 spec but lower the ride height to similar to the tein stech ?
I have just tried P1 springs on bilstein and although the handling had less roll then the teins (which I fitted a week earlier) the ride height was too similar to my previous eibach sportlines to warrant keeping the P1 springs.
The P1 front ride height was exactly the same and the rear was only 7mm less, hence I switched back to the S-Tech.
The S-Tech are 15mm lower on the front and 25mm lower on the back compared to the Eibach sportlines, but due to their softer rating are actually taller/longer when compared off the car, then the P1 Eibach's
I would want the matched spring (or as close as) to the Bilstein which I think is the 'WR Prodrive' spring provided as an option from 1998 to 2000 on the Bilstein suspension upgrade (Page 12 of :

Perhaps we need to find the spec of the wr springs ?
I have swapped broken ones of these on a friends 1998 WR Spec car, for s-tech teins and the ride height was pretty much the same, although the ride firmness ended up a touch softer, which would make sense when you see the Tein stech spring rates of 179/179lbft.
