hi guys had a read of previous posts but as im new here i though i could get away with asking a question that may have ben asked before  im not that mechanically minded btw  Lowering springs can these just go straight on ive read a lot about the rear torsion bar is this a change that's required as well ? or can u get away with just springs for a slightly lower look ? |

A 306 only has springs on the front, yes u can lower the front and leave the rear at standard height. the rear beam can be adjusted to suit too and that can range from a 'bit of a challenge' to a 'kent of a job'.________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

U need to take it to some1 that knows what they're doing, not just any old garage, might be worth asking the boys on here that live by u to help u out or recomend a place to take it. When i've done it in the past i thought that 1 notch was equal to about 30mm drop, if u look into it it gets mega confusing. i did a bit of trial and error and it turned out perfect. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

Not seen you about, i've got a Blaze GTi-6 with black wheels and bonnet. ________________________________________ Team Sam Sparro |
