Hi all, just bought a DC5 in ML. Car is known on Pistonheads, not really searched for the previous owner on here though

Ive got upgrade-itus as usual with any car. One thing I dont really like is the ride height.
Normally I'd leave suspension alone so a bit wary - but I read what people call the FRSU (Eibach Pro or similar plus camber adjustments with a typical setup) is rated very highly, but with lowering springs I am very very sceptical. I dont want to end up with a car that bits the bump stops or bounces back and forth like a boat on waves.
What Im asking ... Is the handling actually good on them with this FRSU, or would I be better stumping up for some Bilstein B14's as the 'softer' setup might be a better option for coping with the more uneven surfaces on UK roads. Ive noticed the stock suspension can have a tendency to jump about on really poor roads.
Looks wise, its this sort of stance I'd be satisfied with, this is basically the money shot for me with a DC5

Ill get some B14's bought if thats the better option, but if Eibach Pros genuenly do handle well then it might be worth saving the difference.
Thanks
