Yes you'll need to change the whole axle over from either a VTR/S or the Pug 106 gti fits too.

You can pick one up from a scrappy between £100 and £250

i got mine from ebay with both front struts an dthe axle lowered 40mm for 200 quid bargain from a VTS, you just have to look around, it isnt that hard to do but id say it needs at least 2 people on certain aspects and make sure yo have everything before you do it.. and also make sure the whole piece of kit is in working order, cas it can cause shit loads of hastle if something is fooked and you install it, as i i found out.. lol

Not being funny, but its a lot of hassle for no real gain.

Or is it purely for looks?

^^ Agreed.

Somethings are better left unchanged, I feel this is one. Another imo is installin a VT kit on a 1.1. Just get a VTR if you want it that much!!

waste of time IMO, unless ur going for every last bit of braking u can get from the car.

agreed!! the rear only does 15-20% of the breaking anyway!

If you want better braking performance just get better front brakes imo. Drums are cool. lol.
