You're not mucking about  . Don't go to far though or it'll end up looking like this

Why did you have to spoil the surprise?     That is exactly the kind of look I am going for

F**kin 'ell Illyun

That's going some

A few suggestions too:-

1. H&R springs instead of Eibach springs (I think Neil has these and they sit perfect)
2. High pressure fuel pump
3. Intercooler (S3, APR, Forge etc)
4. Sell me those LM's

Well my Ed30's waited too long watching your cars get treated and pampered while mines being sitting on the motorway doing donkey work.  Its seriously peeeved and wants to play catch up NOW    Oh, I forgot about the intercooler.  Thats on the list too.  I spoke to Keith about the fuel pump and he said it wasn't needed with stage 1 although where I'm going with the mods, I probably will need an uprated one.  I just won those LMs today on ebay for £1270 although they aren't 100% perfect and will be refurbed at some point. 

So you think the H&R springs are better?  I thought the Koni FSD/Eibach combo was the best available?

If you're seriously considering shifting the weight distribution around by fitting CF panels, I reckon you'll be needing the kind of adjustment you'll only get with coilovers.. especially if you're having some hurdy-style meaty brakes!

Really... hmmm. OK.  Will speak to JKM about this thanks.  But now you have got me thinking... I don't want to negatively affect the car handling by adding CF panels.  Maybe i'll drop the rear hatch CF - Hurdy, any ideas?

....

Illyun - I would strongly advise you take Keith and Jim's advice at JKM rather than us lot here!

Don't go rushing in - Better to consider your longer term desires and how your car ends up as a driveable package.

Are they real LM's mate, if so you may have a problem as the offset won't fit a Mk5

I know - I have heard you need spacers.  Hence they may just go on for shows.  Are yours originals and if so what did you do to get them on?

[Komenda]

Nah, mine are fakeys. ET45 so they fill the arches nicely. Originals are ET55 IIRC so basically sqaush up against the struts.

The anti-lift kit should help with restraining the balance of the car if you lighten the front end. A big brake kit, CF wings(wings or wing mirrors Illyun?) and bonnet would see the front end lighter by around 20kg or so and so wouldn't alter the balance by too much IMHO.
