drop it 50mm on some decent shocks and springs, and plonk on a good set of tyres and if you feel adventurous (you will here mixed reviews about this) get a under neath front strut brace for me it honestly did improve the handling but if you drop it 50mm you might run into issues with it scraping the floor so get a normal strut brace

Whitleline rear ARB's are highly recommended, not fitted mine yet though. I would fit stiffer suspension bushes too.

No, that'd be a rear strut brace - I have one of these too.
The ARB is fitted to the axle.

Thats so unfair! lol. We have a restriction of 100mm to the lowest point of the car over here. Mines the cat at a standerd 120mm which i cant get rid of due to legals as well. Spoils my fun in the lowering stakes a little

thats a bit shit. Any reason y this is ?
Back 2 the thread tho. A full springs and shocks kit. Paired up wiv some 15's/16's on low profile rubber should do the job. Then possibly brace it. If it aint stiff enough after that polybush it :-)
