with eibach's they sit quite flat.though if you are on height adjustable coilovers, just raise the ride height. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

no, phase 1 vts springs are said to lower a 306 by circa 25mm, unsure of spring rate.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

no, the rack bolts are horizontal not vertical, you'd need to modify the subframe to raise the rack.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

^What he said, I drilled through the subframe to move the rack and then tweaked it back and forth with some shim steel until I was happy it was back straight.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

no, standard vts springs, not vts eibachs, they'll drop a 306 probably 50mm or more.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
