I was tempted by the b8s but read they could be a bit soft, so went for kw v2s down about 45mm, with 21mm torsion bars down about 35mm, richw roller bearing wishbones, camber adjustable top mounts and upper and lower strut braces. It now handles like a dream, so direct and the feedback is immense. The only limitation I have now are my tyres.________________________________________ team: Stealth |

It now handles like a dream, so direct and the feedback is immense. The only limitation I have now are my tyres. With the exception of the camber adjustable mounts, this is the same setup as I have.  And I have to say I agree with you totally. Mine is lowered 40mm all round though as opposed to your 45mm at front and 35mm at rear. Whilst it does indeed handle like a dream, when I went over to the R888 tyres, it was again a completely different car. It made the suspension mods REALLY work and it sticks like chewing gum to your trainer at all times now. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It now handles like a dream, so direct and the feedback is immense. The only limitation I have now are my tyres. Thanks for the feedback boys, don't think my budget can quite stretch to new dampers so I'm aiming to get to this level: http://80.82.125.196/forum/showthread.php?id=105196. In other words: - Eibach/H&R springs, 30-40mm drop. - 21mm torsion bar, lowered the same as the front - 28.5mm/30mm ARB Can't wait to buy the parts. I've got a 21mm rear torsion bar lined up but finding a uprated ARB is tough work. Does anyone sell them aside from Spoox? Ash? Need to be able to ship to Australia. Someone who could also ship me some black masks at the same time would be appreciated  lowered/Tinted windows/black masks/black gloss wheels, she's going to look like a new car |

I got my 30mm ARB from Ash a few years back now, maybe be worth sending him a PM to see if he still does them...________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
