[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 599797, member: 20098"] Brakes-wise, I’d be looking at fitting a remote servo as this will make a massive increase on the braking effort that can be applied. If you find in the future that your drums are getting hot (lots of high speed stopping, or descending steep hills) then a disc brake kit could then be added to aide the performance. As said with lowering, the French slammer stuff is a great way to get a drive in - drive out service and will retain a pretty good ride quality compared with stock. I personally chose the diy approach for lowering, which saved me about £1000. That is a combination of 4” narrowed transporterhaus beam, French slammer dropped spindles and gaz coilovers. There is a reasonable amount work to do to fit yourself, so bear that in mind if you choose this route - narrowing leaves, narrowing track rods, modifying gear shift linkage are a few that spring to mind.
