I know that the GTi has shorter springs, but does the 1.6 have different springs to the 1.4/1.1? I need to return my 206 to standard height, but can't find my original springs anywhere! |

I have the very same issue! The clutch pedal vibrates through 4th gear at around 50mph. As soon as I hit 55mph it seems to stop. |

The dampers as far as I know aren't specifically for lowering. I can't remember which ones they are though. Think they are B4 though. I'll try and find out though! |

Morning everyone,
I'm looking at raising the 206. It's down 40mm at the moment, but I don't want to raise it back to standard ride height. I believe the GTi is 15mm lower than the XS. Would it be p ... |

I am replacing the D bushes on the 206, only when I went to order them I was told they will either be 18 or 19mm.
Does anybody know off the top of their head what they will be on my 2000 1.6 xs?
