306 Gti-6 / Hdi Rear Arb

[Henry 1.9GTi 36]

I am looking to get a p3 306 HDI in the near future and would like to upgrade the rear ARB.

 

Am I right in thinking i can order a 306 GTI-6 arb and it will be the same in terms of length, splines etc...

 

Cheers,

Henry.

GTi-6 (or any "Sport" model) will have a 24mm ARB, and this is a straight swap in place of the HDi's ARB (20mm IIRC)

as Anthony said, unless you get a DTurbo HDI which is identical to the gti6 in spec throughout bar the front brakes engine and box.

Should be the same, If not I;ve got loads of them of which you can have one, Saves me binning the things

well was thinking something a bit more extreme around 30mm, was going to get some eibachs for the front but fancied a bit of fun!

 

thanks for the advice chaps

gti suspension and eibachs work well on a diesel

30mm bar is where it's at, I run these in all of my 306's, Mind you need to replace or machine the pins as the 306 for some stupid reason runs 1 25.8mm (ish) arm shaft

ahhh that explains the "hybrid" arb then!

thanks for that info Miles, I think I will have to just go for a GTi-6 item in that case. When I actually have the car I will be in touch

 

Just want something with a bit of feel for the commute that doesn't break the bank like the reno does. You have to drive the reno so stupidly fast to enjoy the car that there is just no point on the road, gonna do one track session and sell it!

I cannot see the point of the Hybrid one myself, I have used one and it made no noticeable difference for the sake of 1.6mm over std, Just a cheap way of not replacing the Arm for most people
