   depending on how low you want to go mate,
   
   you will need front springs
   shocks if you want
   rear is torsion
   
   i went 40 front and 50 back
   but i have vtr kit fitted and its on 13" steels

   i know ill need front springs, but do i need new shocks or are the ones already on the car useable?,
   
   i have a 1.1 but im sticking the vtr/vts body kit on it, to make it look nice and sporty but not to over the top

   Keep it flatarch .
   
   You can choose whether to upgrade the shocks too, most people say you should for any lower than -40mm.
