309 Gti Susp

how much lower will my 1.4 205 GT sit on the front end if i replace the front shocks and springs with the standard 309GTi items i have in my garage...?

 

... am i right in thinking that 205GTi shocks lower a base model 205 by about 20mm, and that the 309 items are 15mm lower again than the 205 ones... so a total of about 35mm?

 

or did i just make that up :D ?

 

reason is my car just passed its MOT so now im thinking of keeping it abit longer so need to make it look more evil :):D

 

Cheers

I've not personally tried it, but I can't see it lowering much if at all.

 

309 GTi springs on a 205 GTI make it sit a smidgen higher anyway, and with the lighter TU engine under the bonnet, I'd assume it'll hit higher again.

I'd use them if i were you, they hardly raise a 205 if at all as Ant says.
