[Spiky 37]

so need some new suspension, pretty sharp ish

 

was thinking for NON coilover GAZ?

any other i should consider?

[Spiky 37]

13ST020 Bilstein Streetline suspension kit £194.00

 

seems a good price

[Spiky 37]

ONLY £175.50 (inc VAT)

Delivery on this item is £12.00

anyone beat this price?

iirc the streetline are only something like 10% "better" (dont know the correct term :s) than standard items.

 

I've got the gaz adjustables with -30mm apex springs, i find them a little crashy on the road, you absolutely have to avoid any pothole, drain cover etc, on track they seem pretty happy for what is essentially a budget setup

What are your dampers set to?

 

Mine are comfy.

had a gaz non coilover set on my 306 and was very impressed with them, got another set on order for the 205, seem fairly well built and and the adjustment seemed to make a difference. gutted i sold the 306 with them on before i found out they would fit the 205 too..

Buy my Bilstein Grp N rears!! Lol.

Please have a search for the Streetline's just to find out how bad the rear's are

 

But before anyone can sugest anything we need to know your budget

ok never really had a budget

 

but that comment alone has now put me off

 

i have seen a comment from you about using OE rears,

 

i'm quite happy to fit just rears, as this the area which is dodgy

 

so OE 205 or 306???? if 306 is a perticualy model?

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Something that I havn;t done personally but in theory it 's a good idea is to use K6 Peugeot 306 GTi rear dampers as they are a direct fit and uprated over std 205 ones

[Spiky 37]

well a friend has some 306 shocks which i'm going to use until i sort out what to use.

 

miles, for my track car, not spending over 300, what would you suggest??

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Maybe the Koni Top Adjustable's as these are about £98.00 each, then the Pug K6 or Koni rear's at £76.00 each (prices from my failing memory) but this get's you above your budget, I;ve never liked the Koni rear's persoanlly but the front's are good. You could use the Bilstein Streetline front's but for a track car nit really that well suited

[Spiky 37]

thanks for the advice, when you say pug k6, i not sure what that means, is that the standard 205 gti rear shock?

I'd like to know the answer to that too!

Anyone?

[matt-k 0]

Me too!!!! Ha

the K6 is fitted to the 306 GTi6, The latest spec damper for them

[Spiky 37]

sorry to bring this back up

 

i have fitted brand new k6 to the rear £77 for the two from pug

 

as for the fronts, miles can you supply koni fronts?

 

what coilovers have i got a choice of??

 

i think 200-250 is my budget for the fronts
