    You have to crank the torsion bars to lift the front, there is no other way around it unless you redesign the front suspension (i.e. solid axle swap, etc). The 18's shouldn't change the stance unless you get the Borbet's, I think the 16" chrome wheel and the 18" chromee wheel have similar offsets (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I have 16's on my 99', it had the 18" Borbet's on it when I bought her. I used 16" Isuzu Snowflake wheels and they widened my stance a bit, I'm running OME 912 springs in the rear with no spacer and cranked torsion bars up front. Here are some before and after shots for you:

    HotrodA10--- Congrat's on your purchase, and welcome to the forum. My question is do you want to lift for sheer "macho look" or do you want to lift out of necessity for bigger tires??? What O.D. size of tire are you hoping to install??? A size 32" O.D. tire in 275/65R18 will fit on a 100% stock VX without any lifting or modifications (no TB cranks & no RS) if they are mounted on the '00/'01 OEM 18x7 rims. There are also comparable 16" tires in the 32" O.D. range that will fit on your existing OEM 16x7 rims without lifting either. Any tire over 32" O.D. will require some sort of TB crank/RS upgrade.

    If you desire a set of '00/'01 OEM 18x7 rims to expand your 18" tire options, I have a spare OEM set of four(4) for sale at $275 plus P&H to your zip code.
