citroen didnt "change" it, they just used different toe settings, camber is nigh on the same.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

All I know is ALLLL the mags (I dont really know this but this is the opinion of evo for example) at the time seemed to think that the gti6 handle a teency bit better than the vts. Im not entirely sure toe is going to make a hole load of difference mind. Although if its camber you want bridgecraft engineering can sort you out. In-expensively too. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I would say the camber and toe is the same between the arm types, i realy dount they would have cast a differnet arm for the vts. The toe is likely to be down to a lower rideheight on the VTS, or differnces in measuring |

There's quite a few Arm options and the ZX & Xsara ones are different to the 306, Heavier car accounts for the torsion bar's but it's something you notice if you ever drive a VTS________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
