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 possible for me to fit oem GTI springs to my bilstein shocks?

Cheers Smile

I guess if your old springs were standard format you have a chance, if your Bilstein shocks are not specifically lowering dampers, the should work with standard springs.

Which Bilstein dampers do you have, B4, B6 or B8?

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!

If it helps, there is a comparison picture of the old and new springs here.
