Hi All,

A quick question...What's the best brand / makes for lowering springs for a 206 GTi. I want to lower the front end, and keep it as simple as possible. I only want to lower to 32mm.
Poss will lower the back end by adjusting the Torsion bar by around 10mm difference to the front.
Any suggestions as to how, whats best etc...greatly appreciated. Taa.

 


My current car is a Mettalic Silver 206 GTi 2.0ltr 16v with Panoramic Sunroof. I love my GTi...

Cut the spring.
206 1400 8v HDi, Battle Bus - More Radical than Peugeot
205 1600 8v GTi, Track Toy Trauma, PatcHes - Driving again after 10 years since it was last on the road!
205 1600 8v GTi, The One and Only, FuDGe - Off the road again. Need to finish PatcHes first!
307 2000 16v XSi HDi - Comfy Cruiser

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Cheers Guy's. A great help. I will go with Eibach Sport for the mod of lowering. Next step will be getting this done. Smile
