Lowering springs

[GTIJas]

Hi I have the 1.8T 20v mk4. Covered 126k but been really well looked after and runs like a dream. They guy who had it before me had bilstein b4 dampers put on. All my friends have said because of this I can get just springs not cheap budget coilovers. I want to go maximum 40mm. I have seen these:

Now if I get these do I need to worry about anything else, such as top mounts? Anti-roll bars? Drop links?
Also if I could see any pictures of anyone who has lowered 40mm just to see the difference would be cool

those dampers are good yes and if all in good condition will be fine with springs. depends on budget and waht you want you can get good spring and damper kits for around 300-350. GTI MK4 sit a little lower iirc comapred to normal mk4s so a 40mm lowers around 35mm. 40mm will just be ok on anti roll bars.

this is mine on koni dampers and h&r 35mm springs

Yea the b4s are in good nick, I had them checked over when I needed the tracking doing. I will go 40mm then, payday Tuesday so ill post pictures once they're done 
Thanks

In a way i wish id gone lower but it used so much as a daily that it maybe not a bad thing considering the amoubtvof speed bumps there is round here

yeah I know what you mean, I don't want to go too low either, especially with the lovely sumps on these mk4s
this is mine now (cant see much in pic)

My pic i posted is on h&r 35mm. Also they not hard they give a muxh firmer ride improve handling but you can still go over bumps etc at normal speeds
