shooter mcgavin 37 Posted January 26, 2008 will be fitting my 6 engine in the next few weeks and just now the 205 is at standard hight running standard suspension. will be replacing the dampers for billys but am unsure on what springs to use? how much lower will it sit with the extra weight of the engine and should the springs be stiffened will just drop the back to suit some pics would be good if anyone has any Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,676 Posted January 26, 2008 ideally needs stiffer springs yes, I've seen that eibach springs work well, though I cant remember if they were 306 or 205 specific ones as the car in question had gti6 dampers all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooter mcgavin 37 Posted January 26, 2008 damm just sold the gti6 koni kit for £120 was told 306 shocks were to rough a ride so do i buy a 205 or 306 set up,i would think the springs would need to be gti6 items. 35 or 40 mm should be well enough eh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,676 Posted January 26, 2008 that's my thinking, they wont drop the car by that much as the front is a bit lighter (but not as light as say an alloy Mi or an 8valver), but it'll still be a decent drop from std Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooter mcgavin 37 Posted January 26, 2008 6 engine is a lot heavier than the 8v engine me and a mate lifted the 8v out by hand with fannymolds and box still on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainK 11 Posted January 31, 2008 I've got a GTi6 engine in mine, with GTi6 shocks and -30mm springs on it. It looks "right" now in the wheelarches and so forth. Don't know what the height of the engine above the road is though, not measured it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
