I recommend shocks & springs as well ..i have a Koni sport kit on mine you can adjust the ride quality. Mine look a little high in my sig pic as the suspension has to settle back down after fitting the new wheels but you see in this old pic mine sits just low enough.

hmm Wonder if he had to change the ARB.

People are saying you can get away with 40mm with a standard ARB.
