Personally I'd change shocks as well as most mk1 leons have a few miles on them now and shocks don't last forever.

I'd change top mounts and bearings to.

Cheers.

At the moment its running a 2.5" system from turbo back with a 6x4" tailpipe....kind of made it up from a couple of different systems to be honest :cartman:

Replacing the downpipe and cat makes a hell of a difference, cat back won't really do much.

Really good offer on Blue Flame exhausts in the Awesome GTI section at the moment.

As mentioned a 40mm drop will be fine but it is always best if possible to get matched springs and shocks in a full kit.

How low can you actually lower a LC by anyway? I heard a rumour that you could drop them by about 100mm???!!?
