"my car is intended to be a keeper, I would hesitate to do it if it wasn't."
Would the cost of the 5 link kit not increase the value of the car at sale time? If it did, even if not by the full £3,750, then my man maths would say this helps justify the expense of fitting them kit.
Not so sure on that one, some would want it and others might not, if I fitted I would keep the original parts and then could always put it back as it was before.
