if i was to fit my kw v2's to a 205, what poundage of springs would i need?so very tempted to bin the 306 addiction (my latest purchase brings total to 19) and go old skool, just trying to work out what bits ive got that could be transferred, front suspension, bubs, brakes, rack.... |

hubs fit but dont use them as they will give positive camber.brakes I would stick to stock tbh, a good pad if you must, anything bigger is just added weight. I'd only use the rack if its a xsara one. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

ok welshpug cheers, anything else worth keeping off 306?i will definately be fitting 283's as it will at least be getting a gti6 engine, got a nice 52k lump from a 2002 vts. ultimately it will be turbo'd ...so, what about the KW's?? |

no, just stick to 1.9 hubs.my mate DCC runs standard s16 266's on a throttle bodied gti6 lump, more than ample and about 2 kilos lighter than 283's, PER SIDE. I am sticking to stock 247's and 1144's, cammed 1.9 8v. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

my thinking behind 306 hubs was if i ever needed a spare one then they are very plentiful whereasi might struggle to find an original in a hurry fair point on the 266's, i have upgraded a couple of my previous cars to 283's and yea ok, they were a little bit better but in all honesty 266's would have done me fine for what i required Wpug - thought you were building a shed X? how many cars/projects have you actually got?! |

come to think of it, 6 hubs are useless anyway, dont think any 205's have 18mm ball joints do they? |

i love the 405! my first car was an '89 405 Mi16, then bought a MiX4 which very quickly munched itshard as cheese transfer box then got a '93 2.0 Mi that was s**te compared to my 1.9, had brief ownership of an STDT, had MI kit and interior, since then a string of 306's including a 205 1.6 with mi, and a mint 1.9 graphite that a very stupidly sold would love another white ph1 405 though |
