I just went to the dark side, again...
After last weekend, I knew that the H&R race / Bilstein Sport combo was a major concern:
The car is so lightweight, that the helper portion of the spring (tighter wound 4 coils at top, and at the bottom) are not even compressed...
I had to clamp them down with collets, and I would still need more weight to sag them down, to the proper height, to get the needed spring rate...
So, I e-mailed, I phoned, I searched the internets
Finally I caved in, and I will have some custom H&R coilovers produced, and should be shipped in a couple of weeks from Germany. The Mk1 race coil overs, are somewhat of a non-disclosed, unicorn, type; they will
NOT give spring rates, nor valving info, even when you buy them ...
Next event is July 24th, and I should have them for the other event after that.

Some interior dash shots for my buddy Rico:
You can see the mounting screws on the bottom, they hold well.
As for the top part, I forgot I ditched the screws, and just put some 1/2" thick, self adhesive neoprene material (I have some left overs, from when I used to do GP bike seats out of it...)
It doesn't vibrate as much with that...
Nice job!
