Coilovers are good as they open up the option for loads of different spring rates readily available at a good price, but if you are getting coilovers get good ones not cheap ones!
You do notice the extra weight of the 2.0l compared to a 1.6. Mine used to pull the front end right down under braking such that the wheels would rub the top of the arch liners!

use a desiel 1" anti roll bar and find a straight top strut. weld up the triangular section of the rear beam in stages with a roll bar in aswell untill your happy. hard as poss, sensible on the ride height. i would say 60ish below standed is enough. as said 300's on the front will surfice for xe's.

I agree  Superb setup.
Top fixed rate kit money = Shitty coilover money.

Depends which springs you put with them. Pretty sure my mates were 50mm.
