#1: New Piccy's of 206 GTi with the O.Z. Alloys on... Author: Surfer333, Location: Cardiff, WalesPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 8:50 am ---- A few new Pic's of my 206 GTi with the O.Z. Alloys on...
Any comments welcome.

Happy days.
Just ordered a K&N Air panel filter, and P-313
Crystal Black Side Repeaters

#6: Re: New Piccy's of 206 GTi with the O.Z. Alloys on... Author: Surfer333, Location: Cardiff, WalesPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 9:08 am ---- I have been thinking of dropping the front end by 32mm or so - not back. Had heard over steer is caused by lowering front & the back end. So dunno!?
Could look a bit odd just lowered at front end. Anyone got advice please? Be v much appreciated. Taa

With the handling - lowering the front more than the back will result in less oversteer (in general), which is why a lot go for the nose down effect.
