Look for used Eibachs, B8s dampers, 21mm torsion bars and a hybrid ARB, probably best spending money on brake and oil cooling upgrades first though.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

nope, but are good, some love solid mounts some not so. I found they made the back end a bit tighter but more snappy, I prefer the feel of a slighty floaty back end on rubber mounts________________________________________ white rallyecherry dead rallye s16 |

HmmmmWell I just wanted the adjustable ones for when I set the car up properly surely thats the advantage over the bilsteins? And I assume the gaz's are cheaper? |

Cheaper but unlikely to be better when hot.Also consider the weight distribution in the car as to what springs/bars to run. They can become very nose heavy as its easier to get weight out of the rear. I was 68% weight forward until I started removing aircon, bumper parts, arch liners, airbox, fogs and going for a fobreglass bonnet. I'm thinking about the seats next, reducing the amount of dash, battery to rear, 21mm rear bars and bringing the ride height down a bit more. I'm just on KW v2s front, some 205 koni yellows rear and a hybrid rear arb. Nothing special but it works ok for my budget of under a grand for everything inc the car ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Yeah shocks and springs up front, shocks rear but you'll need to get the rear beam lowered. Best place for second hand is here and fleebay________________________________________ white rallyecherry dead rallye s16 |

Get a 30mm bar, I've never been a fan of the Hybrid one, yes it means changing one of the Arm pins but the benefit is well worth itAs for the white 306, I've yet to take a look, will do next meeting and sell him some parts, I know he almost fell over when he asked if I had strut braces fitted and No was the answer ________________________________________ 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, |

I'm not sure what someone else missing an apex has to do with dampers though unless you have it in HD video to check the body movements....  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
