Unless yuo are going alot of track days i personally dont think its worth it.
You will end up running a 'copy' standard set up on the road anyway.
Lowering the back seems a bit gay. I thought youd want to drop the front slightly and run standard rears.

I'd say you must be looking at a mk2 kit if it's saying -30mm drop on the back...as it's torsion bar as you say. I have coilovers on my williams and rate them highly...if you give your williams some stick on the track or your current suspension is feeling a bit tired I'd recommend them! Ps don't take notice of stromba his willy never sees more than 2500 rpm!
:D

It won't handle better on rough b roads as the coilovers will be a harder ride but will be a lot better A or B roads with a half decent road surface..IMO of course
