Hello, can anyone tell me what the difference is between gti6 suspension and smaller sized engined 306 models is? I'm looking at some uprated suspension but its not from a gti6, its from a small engined car. Thanks

Chances are it'll sit on its bumpstops mate, I tried fitting a set of 40mm spax springs from a 1.4 and the car had no suspension travel at all.

What specifically are you looking at?

depends on the spring rate, often the cheaper kits arent that specific but easy to swap springs, just hope the damping can be altered enough

hmm on the standard 306 it lowers the car from 45mm to 70mm, so on the gti6 it will lower it more. Is that right?
