Da bestest way of doin it man is to not pay da geezers all dat money for a kit dat u can put togever yourself for much less dollar.

Lower mount by 1.5". 22 spline Nova GTE/GSi shafts and Cav Mk2 1.6 inner CV's.

22 spline Nova GTE shafts with Cav inner CV's on them. Or you can buy some specific heavy duty shafts for ???

Lee is suggesting you make the mounts/brackets yourself by looking at how much it needs to be lowered, and the standard Mounts and the aftermarket mounts.

but if your no good at fabricating then your bets off just buying a kit - Or someone on here might offer to make you one for alot less

personally, id have a look on ebay prior to fabricating or buying any mounts as there ocasionally on there for a few quid.
