Dont forget camber /castor adjustment on the front,unless you get some built in to the strutt,or change top mounts to adjustable.Dont go down the offset ball joint route,especially for the ring!
Even better 935 bottom arms,very adjustable,although not a lot of camber required on early tubs for the ring.
Xtc do 1 deg camber built in to start from.

Any high end modern damper will give you decent bump and rebound control. As said by others, it's the chassis hardware and diff/geo set up of the car that will ultimately define the handling and Richard knows his onions with these busses so you will get a lovely thing when it's finished. If you intend to take it to other circuits - Spa for example, I'd re-consider a ring only set up although an assistor spring will help a lot but it will effect the valving of the damper. The diff choice and set up is cruical. My preference is a Guards unit but other drivers may prefer other manufacturers. You will need a nice stable platform under braking and lots of lock under accelleration to deploy the power. Richard will need to know how you intend to work the car into the apex to work out the lock under braking. Some drivers like to trail into the apex with older 911's and some don't. I still prefer to unless it's a short wheelsbase car but only if the diff is set up for it.

I'd have a chat to Richard and tell him exactly how you want to drive the car. He will work the rest out for you. I'm not sure how he sets up his 935 but that car works brilliantly.
