Ive ordered spax fro mine and will be looking to get the full PSX kit at a later date
Bear in mind though saxo driveshafts arent exactly strong in the standard position and with them lower they will be sitting at a angle they are not designed for and can excelerate the wear rate
Im just having the -40mm which is plenty unless you wanna go euro

some manufacturers make the vts and vtr springs slightly differently the vts springs are normally stiffer and stronger to take the extra weight from the engine compared to the vtr ones but im sure they can still be used, you will only get two springs though for the front struts as the rear is a torsion bar and has to be adjusted to the correct height....

If your un decided on the height or want to go euro and slam it, save up a bit more and try get coilovers. I got GAZ Coil's and can't fault them in any way.:y:
