Welcome to the forum, browse http://lanciabetaparts.co.uk/ this is where I got most things for my track HPE.
My cars spec is:

Front Suspension:
Adjustable Spax inserts
Betaboyz lowering/Uprated Springs
Polyurethane bushes
Polyurethane Top mount
Rear Suspension:
Adjustable Spax inserts
Betaboyz lowering/Uprated Springs
Polyurethane bushes
Polyurethane Top mount
Strut brace

Alternatively, a couple of people have started fitting modified coilovers. Geoff might be able to point you in the right direction when he's sober

I've now gone this route,mainly because i like coilovers and a stiff ride. I've done it on a budget though. I bought some new tuv approved,but cheap coilovers for a mk1 golf off ebay,cut the golf mountings off and replaced them with the lancia mountings. I'll put up some pics when i get round to doing the rears.

This was my attempt

certainly seems to work. all strut inserts are Koni adjustable
fronts are Golf Mk II , rears are Gamma original
