Default Thoughts on new suspension setup for me?

Hi all,
Looking at a new suspension setup for my V4 Type R. Long story short one of the rear ohlins adjustable shocks it came with on import has a knock in the rear, and i'm just not sure where to go.


A) Could get both rears reconditioned for 250-300 quid EDIT- for both + shipping.

B) Could get a decent secondhand set of shocks/springs. Found some ohlins with like 5k miles on it (not adjustable ones however) with Eibach 35mm springs for 250 quid.

C) Go coilovers w/ adjustable top mounts etc. Anyone got any decent second hand ones about?

I had looked at Meister R as scoobynet had a deal with 20percent off and they had good reviews, especially for still being a decent road suspension as well as track. I think it was just over 600 quid with the discount, which to me seemed a good deal.

BC BR series were a thought, or maybe springing some cash and getting KW V1 or something. But that's more than i'd like to spend really.

Running 400 bhp , on 17inch innovits. Will be fitting ALK, front and rear ARB, alloy rear drop links, and solid rear ARB mounts. The car will be used on weekends and evenings out, B roads etc, with 5-6 track days a year + ring trip.

Thoughts?
