I am probably gonna go down the Eibach route but was wondering if anyone on here can recommend which set to purchase? The whole setup needs tightening up, the x-tube mounts on the back are fubared, so they're gonna get replaced at the same time. It's all getting a bit skittish and wayward at the back end and I really don't wanna lose it now that I've spent all my hard earned cash on the body resto. Cheers.

Cheers for the advice. I've phoned the place up and they are as follows: Eibach -> Front 20mm (comes with drop links), Rear 16mm. H&R -> Front 22mm (no drop links), Rear 18mm, but Ł30 cheaper. I guess the H&R will probably give a harsher ride but with less roll than the Eibach. Does anyone know what the diameter of the standard Sport roll bars are?
