Suspension/shock absorber upgrade for Clubvan

[BIRMA]

Having changed the wheels and tyres on my Clubvan to Rota's and Michelin Pilot Super Sports along with the re-mapp I'm thinking I'd like to improve or upgrade the suspension/shock absorber set up on the van. I don't want out and out track day stiff suspension just an improvement to be in line with the tuning items on the van. I'm guessing at some stage I'll need to upgrade the brakes too so any suggestions on that would be helpful too.

I'd be going Meister coilovers or Tein/ST coliovers bottom end of the market if you wanted cheap would be AP coilovers.

For brakes go for Brembo or OEM Discs and Ferrodo or Mintex fast road pads.

Thanks, I'm not to fussed about price as I like to do things once and properly. Ideally a set with internal adjustment module would be nice but probably not worth the extra cost as I'd set them on a softer setting. I'm looking to improve what is already there really.
I do like the idea of some Brembo drilled and slotted discs as you can see through the wheel spokes, I know that may border on show but to have some decent quality discs would be what I'm after.
I'll have to wait and see once mapped if I feel the brakes need upgrading to bigger discs although the gap with the standard ones is pretty tight to the 17 inch Rota's.

The brakes won’t need upgrading in size, I run the same setup on my 250bhp Cooper S sprint/hill climb car. THey’re fine for a diesel road car. Decent quality discs and pads is all you need.

If you want them for show get the JCW 4 pots, they look lovely and fit under the 17s.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll look at the Tein adjustable package as I had them on my track prepped RX7 and liked them.
Mini Sport sell a full JCW brake package for £1500 so I'll probably go for that set later too.

JCW brakes are cheaper on ebay...... and try someone like cotswold mini, Mini are also very competitive on brakes

Thanks , I'll check them out. I'll probably go the Tein route with the coil-over set up as the adjustment module appeals and I know just the person who can fit them too.
