Might want to check the regs, don't think there are many classes or race types that will let you change the suspension type.

I've checked with scuteneer he was willing for me to fit turrets and coilovers on original axle but was just wondering if it was possible or not

anything is possible
best bet is a satchell engineering kit, no shell mods bar a few holes to be driller, retains full travel of the standard trailing arms but far improved damping quality and much cheaper to change spring rates.
or just buy a C2.
