I think most people who have been in my car by themselves will agree its a pretty fun place to be.
Not the most comfortable maybe but fun. So I will just tell you what I have.
Solid rear mounts.
Gti rear beam.
22mm rear torsion bars.
Hybrid rear ARB.
Gaz gold rear dampers.
Gaz gold front coilovers, can't remember the spring rate, it's in my thread somewhere.
PhilipM rose jointed drop links.
Gti front ARB.
Meyle hd wishbones (been on over two years no issues so far)
Compbrake top mounts (but of ed gets a good deal going over to BM)
Other important things to consider.
Weight of wheels and brake calipers and disc's.
Might be worth getting a Xsara quick steer rack. (I have one and they are great)
Tyres. No point doing all of the above, if you going to put shit or half shit tyres on the thing.
As ed said the trade off, mine is a daily drive, but I don't mind my ride comfort to much, if I had to spend all day in my car 5 days a week I would get something bigger and better. But I don't.
