Perhaps the web site fitment calculator is in error. But if you attempt to put in TR7 or 8 they come back with no fitment. Best call them for the straight skinny.

... What you use the car for, mostly, should guide your choice ...

I always worked from an existing set up and worked from there. Bearing in mind what the car will be used for.
And old articles on tuning & testing these cars can also be very helpful.
