It will be a VERY firm ride! Koni are pretty hard, the KYB wasn't a fiat coupe damper and is pretty hard, the Eibachs will compound the issue, your fillings will fall out and your mrs will need a sports bra. Fingers crossed Stockport council have just resurfaced all the roads in your area.....with glass

.... how good will it handle??? I'd say it'll handle very well, but you'll have to experiment with the Koni damper settings Personally, I'd go for adjustable rears as well, as I found the KYB rear damping to be very firm Otherwise, your setup will be very close to mine, and I'd like to think that I have the handling fairly well sorted on my car The only addition I'd recommend you consider is some extra camber at the front EDIT - no mention of an upper strut brace?
