Robbiedundy 58 4 Cars Posted June 19, 2016 Hi, I'm currently building a 205 GTi6 and I've got 309 wishbones/driveshafts & a 309 rear axle for it. I'm going to be running Sl434s and the car is lowered 30mm on eibach springs/ bilstein shocks and GAZ rear shocks, the axle is completely standard. Will I be able to still use the GTi trim kit? Obviously the arches will need modifying but to what extent? I have rallye arches but would like to keep the full GTi trim kit instead if possible. Cheers.

j_turnell 134 3 Cars Posted June 19, 2016 I run full 309 setup and 306 arms with 7j wheels lowered around 25-30mm I had to remove the return on the arches, any lower than 30mm and you may have issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbiedundy 58 4 Cars Posted June 19, 2016 Did you just grind it off and put sealant on it or weld it? That's great, cheers.. I think the Sl434s are only 6.75J or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted June 21, 2016 You'll have fun on the back with this as it is not the width of the SL434's, it is the offset as they are ET8. I saw someone once with a 205, 309 beam and SL's and they had to raise the back as they stuck out of the arches My CTI has naturally erroded the edge of the arches and would be popping them off if I was on a 309 beam (which are more hassle than they are worth and don't suit a IMHO, but the front wishbone set up does).

Robbiedundy 58 4 Cars Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers Henry, to be honest I like the look of the wide rear more than the practicality of the 205 one. The beam has been refurbished, painted etc so I'm sticking with it for now, looking forward to see what happens but I'm still really far of fitting wheels etc yet. Thanks for the help. ???? Cti looks great BTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
