does anyone know if the 306 GTI6 springs will fit a HDi .. ie the lower suspension spring, when fitted in my car, is it going to have a ride height accepable ? Or is the front engine of HDI too heavy for the GT16 springs .. dont mind lower , but dont want to drag mudflaps ! spanner115 has attached the following image: ________________________________________ chris |

The GTI 6 engine and box is heavier than that in the HDI so if anything it will sit a bit higher.________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

I don't get the picture.I believe GTI-6 springs are stiffer as the engine is heavier, so height aside the handling will all be to cock. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Fitting GTI6 springs to my HDI raised the front by about 10-15mm |

Out of interest, what's the point of putting them on then?Oh, and just because it hasn't fallen over yet doesn't mean it's safe ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
