Even if they physically fit, they are designed and set up for a totally different car so I wouldn't do it.________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |

They fit yes, but they'll be well under damped at a guess, and springs would be way too soft aswell.________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

you ask for advice , get it then competely disregard it the 205 setup is for a lighter car,the struts themselves are shorter aswell, springs are too soft,it will bottom out at every opportunity f*cking the dampers and will ruin your handling. thats the facts. |

yes i accept the fact they are designed and set up for a diiferent car, but surely if i was to put them on and it felt and performed fine it would be a result. If they would bottom out then al give it a miss. thanks anyway ________________________________________ dooby |

actually the rears will work just fine, 1.9 gti 205 dampers share the same part number as sport 2 306's, i.e xsi gti6 and dturbo hdi.the fronts I think wont be too badly setup if you stick to a standard ride height, but, the droplink tab is in the wrong place which might make the droplink foul on the hub carrier. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The droplink hole was my main concern and had read somewhere it wouldnt fit, but thought i would check to see if anyone had tryed it.They've got 40mm lowering springs with but i was going to swap them with standard gti-6 springs if i was to fit them to raise the ride height to stop them bottoming out. I will the give the whole thing a miss to save hassle. cheers ________________________________________ dooby |

damping rate is likely to be just the same. Likewise with a most std pug shocks being all the same, its a damper, its not all about weight. Springs may be different but again fit them and have a go, there is very little difference in std 205 gti and 306 gti springs.Koni will have uprated the std shocks by 10 or 20% they wont have fully tested them on a 205 and them fully tested them on a 306 they just done do it like that. They know the rate the dampers must be. |

If he decides to sell again al ask him for a trial fit before buying.They're adjustables to, so i suppose i could play about with the damping to see what results i got. ________________________________________ dooby |
