PM sent seb. Thanks for the advice chaps much appreciated.thinking that 21mm bar is the way forward as the backend defo seems a bit wavvy. by going lower how much comfort will i be giving away? i'm gona be stcking 16s on but still worried about the ride being extremley harsh. up until recently i was running on 17s at standard height and the ride quality wasnt great so curious to know what everyone else has experienced? |

Afternoon Chaps Thats a lovely example of how i would like to have my 306 sitting. I was on the lookout for a set of uprated torsion bars and arb etc - but just cant afford it at the minute with buying a new hoose. Thinking of just getting the eibachs fitted and having the rear lowered to match for the minute. Is it a big job (expensive) to to have the uprated bits added at a later date ie . TB's ARB Solid Rear Mounts? |

Don't bother, save up and do it once, or else you will end up springing for two lots of labour.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
