i fitted a set of koni adjustables with 50mm ecosse selex springs (torsion bars reset to match, 10mm higher than front)

today i went for a good blast on country roads and to be honest the handling is scary

has recently had new bottom arms, bushes, ball joints etc, it feels horrible, when i go round fast tight corners

she seems to bounce alot. I think my car handled better with the original setup, just feels far too hard, obviously

50mm drop doesnt help.. even with dampers on softest setting, i dont have any confidence through the twisties

I'm now thinking a 25 to 30mm drop would be better, plus swapping the torsion bars for the xsara vts items

as i can definately feel an 'imbalance' between front & rear

Whats the best option here? before i lowered it, i knew my cars limits but now its dangerous tbh,

any suggestions guys???

phoned citroen today and they quoted me £180 plus vodka and tonic for pair of vts torsion bars, seems too cheap

to be true. Gave him reg number of vts that a friend of a friend owns, parts guy seemed a bit vague.

about right that is

I ran my ZX on standard springs and koni's all round for a while (ZX16v and phase 1 xsara springs drop the front of a 306 about 25mm apparently)

What wheels and tyres are you using?

+1 on the height. Dampers may well be ok yet - not like its gone that far.

Nothing to see here

running cyclones with 195/55 'comfort' spec tyres!

had 17's on a previous 306-never again, i hated them

as for my shocks being fooked, ive done max of 300 miles since fitted. i feel as if my 306 has

lost her character, how peeps put up with running 17's on the bump stops is beyond me

cheers for the input guys
