It does depend if you are modifying the suspension to go on track or sticking to the road... the adjustability Sundance did was because he used to do a lot of track work. I don't think its needed for the road.
Sundance also runs big power which he needs to keep under control.
If your preferred supplier is going to be Jetstream then you are best sticking with his advice rather than asking for opinions on here... I have different views on suspension to Matt and thus I payed my money and made my own choice, I have deep respect for him though and you won't go wrong listening to him.
Ive been telling people more and more recently to keep their cars mostly stock, particularly the engine. I personally would recommend against a basic engine remap on your car, but again its not a shared view.
Rob is an M400 owner localish to you, tracks the car loads and keeps it standard and has done for years... you should speak to him.

Just to add, My car was in Spain on hot tarmac and sticky tyres, At no time have I felt the standard M400 suspension to be soft for track, or to hard for road, they are as they were out the box.and pretty much perfect for my style of driving.
The camber and toe just fine tune it all for fast road driving, and track work.
If it was for racing only, I would run more camber and toe, and run harder springs. Standard for road , the M400 balance is perfect.

You know I did actually take my old 996TT to CG a few years ago. Car was not much better afterwards and it was very expensive. Furthermore, his wife is an extremely tiresome, intellectual snob - at one point she stated that most of their customers are 'stupid'. But I've never been there in a Noble so hey...

I totally agree Craig, if I didn't go to the Ring whenever possible I would perhaps have slightly stiffer spring rate for tracks like Spa and Silverstone. Still great around them tracks regardless on the standard set up.The camber and toe just fine tune it all for fast road driving, and track work.

It's the only car I have owned and not changed the suspension, had the dampers refurbished a few years ago only.
