Yes. Lowering springs and adjust the beam at the back. Dont ask what springs to get. Ask on http://www.pug306.net they will have a better idea. |

Welcome, but be careful some people on here will flame anyone with a lesser 306-but if you can't get insurance for a 6 the smaller engine variants still are great cars to drive and can look fine. Eibach make really good springs which give the kind of drop you are after and get someone decent to lower the rear the same proportionately-much more than 35-40mm will overstress the drop links and dampers.________________________________________ New Forum same high quality intellectual debate!Team Zimmer™ |

I wouldn't go lower than 30mm as you may be pinged on your insurance - usually they will allow you up to 30mm without a problem.Don't use a GTi6 or other XU engine car springs as they have a heavier engine so won't lower it at all. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
