does anybody know if the antiroll bars off a gti will fit straight onto a driver

They should do. They are the same car but the driver has a less powerfull engine. Suspension, trim and everything else to my knowledge is the same.

Still the same. The driver was a poor mans GTI. GTI without the GTI performance. I think everything is interchangeable bar engine components and ancilliaries.
Brakes, trim, interior, running gear etc.

brakes and handling are crap

As long as you use 15'' wheels, you can use the braking equipment from a G60. You will need the front hubs and the master cylinder too. As for handling, your shocks may be a little tyred. You can always upgrade when you replace but if upgrading, buy matching sets of springs and shocks. You WILL notice the difference.

could I use the front disks and calipers from a 16 valve?

To use the calipers and discs from a 16v I think you need to change the hubs. I dont know if the driver will take the 8v barkes and discs without the hub change?

I was thinking just to the complete front end running gear off a valver and change the lot hubs,disks,calipers,suspension and anti roll bar

I think you can use the 8v gti disks and pads. The gti pads are thinner and will allow room for the vented disks

I remember doing something like this a while back
