im after a set of front springs to match up with the 21mm estate torsion bars witch are apparently 20-25% stiffer, the car is lowered approx 30-35 mm at the front and id like to keep it like that.
if i stiffen the rear up with the 21mm torsion bars then what springs should i be looking at for the front, to keep the balance the same?
many thanks in advanceBig grin

Eibach springs are -30mm and a good match.

There are two different fitments for the 306.
E7011-120 is the correct one for the GTi-6.
