   Hi folks, im new to the saxo scene so please bare with me.
   Just bought a phase 2 vts for a usable project. Iv seen a couple of them with ford style deep dish minilite alloys and i have two questions
   1. Will 13s be ok with the brakes?
   2 will i need spaces or different studs?

   really depends on the spec of the minilights you get. But yes they can be a direct fit if you get them made for the car. If you get them made for say a xr2i they you will need spacers.

   You will need 20mm spacers all round ideally and you will need to drop the car about 100mm allround for them to look good or they'll look shit.

   Its already lowered 60 on standard vts 15s
   Investing in coilovers to slam it tho. How many clicks on the torsion bars will it need dropped?

   60 is only half what you need, 100mm+ is needed tbh.
   
   Also I wouldn't do your axle in clicks, after a few weeks/months your axle will fuck up and you will have to get a new one, £300+.
   
   Get a 'professional' to lower it.
