I want to get a nice stance and good performance out of this and I've thought of going air ride but for now it's too expensive for me and I'd want it all round which is a problem at the rear.

I've opted for these springs in the front http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/771...69907.html

Has anybody had any experience with these springs ?

And the plan with the rear is to refurb the axle and adjust the torsion bars to lower by 60mm.

I'm wondering which torsion bars would be a good upgrade from my standard 1.4 phase 1 ones ?

And which shocks would be good for my set up ? I'd rather go for adjustable shocks but I'm not sure which ones are decent quality.

GTi tb's and arb will be a huge upgrade. 20mm tb's from 18mm and 23/24mm arb from 16-20mm arb. Although if your on a tight budget a whole gti axle will be easier providing you know the history of it.

Personally i wouldnt lower it that far puts much more pressure on the moving parts, i for one wont warrant my axles if set at -60mm or over.

That's a good idea actually and I'd get disc brakes etc with the gti axle too wouldn't I ? Everything that goes into this isn't going in unless it's perfect so if I get a used gti axle i'll be making sure everything's perfect on it first before it goes in.

How low would you say I can go ? Piggy recommended 30mm would be the max for good performance etc but I'm looking for nice wheel fitment too and I know it's often difficult to get a balance of the two but I'd like to be as close as possible to that balance
