Pics of mine on 17's and lower than 60mm, arches were rolled and arch liners had to be removed.(this was the previous owner) i wouldnt go that low if you paid me, i treasure my spine!

nice one but will i have to have the rear arches rolled on 17 im only asking abot a 60mm drop as the only springs i can find ar 40mm or 60mm but if im right 40mm is pointless as the car is already 30mm lower if the gti6 is 30mm lower so pointless lowering 40 mm as only be extra 10mmsomeone correct me if im wron im new to pugs first one i owned my last car was a mgzr turbo so its a bit diff  |

Depends on the type of 306 as there are a number of different engine and springs used. The GTi6 isn't 30mm lower than any of them as standard though. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain they are lower than any other 306 model as standard. I doubt it will be by 30mm though.________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |
