Unsure just those issued by Prodrive. Unlike the inverted bilsteins on a group 4 escort which have the damper rating stamped in the top these are a canister insert similar to the later peugeot sport suspension and they have no markings, the damper is quite firm and with the 350 rated spring would make an excellent fast road track setup. I have tried them against some 300/120 gpn cossy inserts I have and the feel and rebound is much the same, and they came off an irish tarmac set up escort cosworth, mainly used for single venue stuff so firm but not knock your teeth out type stuff....

what is the maximum that it can lower a 306 by if you measured from the sidesill, only reason i ask is as i have a dimma im wondering if that setup would beable to give me the drop i require, i know that i could change the spring length but i still think i will need short inserts?? |

You'll need raised inner arches if you want to go low on a Dimma.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Iv seen how nur is doing his but i dont intend to go that low, a nice 2-2.5" gap would be nice, still have the problem of the roll centre kit hitting the rotors so it would be good to know if the brake setup he is selling will give me the extra clearance due to the offset and these coilovers give me the required drop i require. |

The ride height is dictated but the spring height, this kit with my wide arch kit on the xsara was just about right, due to big arch clearances I needed adjustability as I was running out of damper length on standard struts and lowered springs.________________________________________ MMMM you won't like this but I just love Citroens!!!!!!! |
