It really did highlight that I need to look at the suspension options out there, maybesome adjustable dampers would be the solution as I like a fairly soft ride round London but need it to be a lot more controlled on track.
I pondered this for a bit too, and the general consensus was that adjustable dampers are best used on dedicated track cars where you are making minor tweaks now and then.
Switching from a relatively soft setting for road use to much firmer settings for track stuff, and back again say once a month, is what really shortens the damper's life.

Outside Bilstein kits (£££), I'd consider the Eibach Pro kit springs (progressive, and very very good quality) along with some decent mid-range dampers like Spax VSX.

I remember HughF saying that the H&R Cup kit was seriously compromised around town, and downright uncomfortable.
