They would have been abit overkill though as i had already got thicker bars and they had air springs as well  |

im gonna grab a fair few bits next week, i need some coilovers or different suspension setup anyway cos mine's running standard front/rear 110k old setup [30mm lowered though]these AP coilovers are actually looking quite smart. was looking at Gaz gold and some KW v2's too, bit pricey at moment ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

No, no preload/length adjuster John, that adjusted where it sat in it's travel as well as ride height and it'd be a right bas**rd for most people to set up properly.I'll leave the air pressure the same spring assist as everyone else then, if that's not enough, I can crank it a little further with some heatsink'd resevoirs, although it increases the hysteris of the damper, so if you need a lot I can rebuild them with 23mm shafts instead, which'll double the spring force available. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Well, I can give yours an extra inch of droop travel if you like which would add some preload whilst keeping the spring rate changes fairly low?I might have to make a little bracket up for mounting but shouldn't be too much trouble. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

hmm, 3.5 turns on 1.5 thread would be about 5.25mm, or 4.35mm on 1.25 thread, which is quite a lot in Damper bolt distances roughly 1mm to 2.5-3mm ish in ride height ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

so probably about 8-9mm lower, but sat on fatter torsion bars, so in reality, should be about the same!? ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
