The handling is deffinitely better, you notice it right away, I'd say it would be worth it if you could aquire the bits on the cheap, unlike me who spent over £700 in the end on brand new parts from renault LOL

nice turn in, very predictable, only downer is because its that bit wider you've got more chance of the arches hitting tyres on enthusiastic cornering but it doesn't bother me

Quite a bit, can't remember how many mm, 19mm each side rings a bell but i've had mine on for over a year. It's definitely noticeable when looking at it.

Wishbones, Anti-Roll bar, shocks, driveshafts

never realised it was that much thought it would have been about 10mm either side

it pushes the wheels right out to the arch edges, i can't remember how much wider it is but you can see when you put the williams and 16v driveshafts next to each other

nope, you can wind the 16v rods out to suit, should be enough in them, done loads like that
