1*2 hubs only fit with 1*2 driveshafts. 1*2 brakes only fit with 1*2 hubs afaik. If you want to widetrack a dci/non sport you'll need: subframe, track rods from a 1*2, wishbones, hubs, driveshafts, brakes, struts.
You can still get them over here. Proper bargain on German ebay:

The regular Bilstein's/H&R's/KW's are all made for road use. If you want to have a proper track coilover, they have their own motorsport/clubsport division.
Solid top mounts prevent the strut from moving when under stress (cornering, braking etc.). On a road going car, you'll have more noise due to the lack of acoustical damping and solid top mounts need lubrication regularly.
Cheap sports cats do not work properly. I got the KTR one (adapter cat for 182 manifold and 172 exhaust) and it brings the EML on. Proper 200 cell cats are 300+ quid. So you can fit a decat instead, save a few quid and change back to the standard cat for MOT time.
