Needing new springs, dampers, shocks etc But after getting the car lowerer around a 40/40 drop, as im reckoning I can sort my roll problem out with that kind of drop.
Any ideas of any good websites to get parts from as the cost of getting it done in a Garage is stupid, when I can just do the work my self....

Dont start to spend money on any suspension component until you have carefully considered what you want it to do, the type of driving you will be doing,and how you are going to set it up to do that.
Lowering is all well and good on the track, but youll quickly see the downside of dropping too far on the road. You also risk your driveshafts by dropping too low
I see too many cars that are set up far too hard for the road and end up a shambles because they havent been properly set up.
The easist thing to do - IF you dont have time or inclination to do the setting up (It takes AGES to get right) is to look for the best handling model in the range and do a swap with that - eg for the GTI setup etc. I recently did the same to a wee 924 by dropping in 944 turbo suspension - saved me weeks of setting up and messing about selecting and matching components.
If you do decide to (And I can recommend it) Start from exact manufacturers settings, and then tweak!
