Post #1
Just wondering how low my car is, it was already lowered when i bought it. The front bumper catches some speed bumps and it does'nt even have a splitter. (which i am intending on getting)Iv got a new beam to go on that is supposedly already lowered 30mm. Just wondering if il have to lower the beam further to match the front or maybe raise the front to suit. Any opinions? Thanks    ________________________________________ Team V6 |

leave it as it is, looks good to me..But if really you want to change something, raise the front a bit. ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I  this place.

So il have to tweak the beam to around 50mm to suit. Or just get some 30mm spings for the front.________________________________________ Team V6 |

hard to say with the pictures being rather dark and not straight at the side of the car.you need the back to be higher for it to handle anywhere decent. I'd raise the front on some eibachs. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

When you asked me to lower it on a computer I noticed it was a lot lower at the front than it was at the rear.________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |

Is it generally thought that the beam be lowered to match the front. In this case 45/50 mm?________________________________________ Team V6 |
