Default 2.1 B2/Type 81 Quattro tuning?

Just joined and i'm looking for info on what I can do to uprate the chassis and brakes on my A reg Quattro?

Budget is circa 1500-2000, I want to uprate the suspension, brakes, handling (roll bars...etc) and I was hoping that someone knew of a company which produces roll cages for the B2 Quattro Sport?

Do you know where your likely to be hillclimbing? Obviously varying locations will require different setups to gain the best performance results...

Suspension wise I'm converting my Strut units to coilovers using rallydesign parts. Cost to convert including coil springs in custom length and rating is £201 delivered. On top of that you'll need uprated dampers, Konis come in at £600 a set which are adjustable on car but there are other options.

As for brakes, will you be running stock wheels or will there be possibility for larger discs and calipers? Braking is just as important as acceleration so good biting force, larger doesnt always mean better... Not sure on fitments but i'm pretty sure the CQ caliper carrier bolt pattern matches golfs.. This may be the avenue to investigate as alot is bolt and play...

Loton Park hill in shropshire, since that is the one that is most local to me

I'm planning on going for 16x7 alloys, it had already occurred to me that the front callipers on my quattro look allot like the girling 256mm brakes on a 16v golf... and it seems reasonable to assume that they share the same parts bin, so that would make an upgrade to 280mm g60...etc brakes a real possibility.
