Ride height for Koni on Peugeot 306

Hi,

Just fitted a Koni sports suspension kit to my 1997 306 GTI6.

Forgot to measure the ride height before fitting.

Does anyone no how much the kit lowers the car by ? (if at all does not
seem any lower !)

thanks
Ray

 

whilst unsure of how much it lowers it by, i can tell you that it will take
time for the suspension to settle, give it a few weeks and then get the
torsion bar set to match, 40mm seems to ring a bell on how much it lowers it
by. make sure you get the rear lowered by the same amount as the front, if
you lower it too much you will end up losing the balance that pugs have,
basically is a matter of weigh distribution, too much weight over the rear
and you get understeer and vise versa


i reccomend you join one of the peugeot forums, here in the uk we have quite
a few, there are a few aussies (going by your email address im guessing your
an aussie) on the www.306gti6.com web forum, (my username is big fat nick if
you wondered who sent you) there is also www.peugeot-gti.net but that is
more a peugeot general site, apart from that there is www.psooc.com ( i
think but dont quote me on that) all of these sites wil be of great help to
you, i also belive there is an aussie pug site (aussiefrogs.com or
something)


thanks
