I have been looking for a couple years now so had to buy when it popped up. Im currently at university and blown all my money on the new Volvo. Im planning long term to save up and eventually swap the engine, gearbox , add Coilover's etc. For the time being I want to do a couple slightly cheaper and smaller jobs. Starting with lowering slightly. On lowering springs alone how much can be dropped before clearance issues? (bearing in mind I live in London) With the engine what are the most cost effective power gains. I have been looking at different cams. Is there a specific one for street driving and getting a bit more low end torque people would recommend? As well as carb , exhaust, intake changes etc. Cheers in advance Olly
