ive gone and baught a cts stage 2 + gear box off of a mate for 600 quid, took it home primerd & painted silver then found out that it wont fit a series 1 cos of the gearbox mountings at the front cos it was out of a series two so i'll change the casings to get it in but its just more work isnt it 
oh and the body shop has put new front cross member & chassis legs on the front...

60mm drop with a extra coil chopped off the back springs to get a nice height.
i smashed it after owning it for 10 days

koni shocks all round as well, front arch lips were removed completely, and bodykit trimmed right back aswell.
rears were done aswell, inner skin cut out completely and outer skin folded right up against it and seam welded round the edge, could still have 4 grown men in it with no rubbing what so ever. running 215/40x16 tyres. it is a h plate rs turbo shell with mk3 panels on it. running 200brake, 2wd cossie discs on the front and series 2 drums on back.
