205 Euro Rallye With 309gti Arb

[205Rallee 59]

Hi folks,

 

Firstly, Sorry if this question has been asked many times before!

 

Is the 309 ARB any thicker than the 205GTi ARB and is it a direct swap? How easy are they to get hold of?

 

Cheers

yes it is thicker and a direct swap, but its not really a good idea to uprate this alone, especially with a fairly light engine in the front.

I've got bilstein ride height adj tarmac dampers, rose jointed top mounts, groupA bottom arms and Skip Brown dual rate tarmac 2 1/4" springs. Running 21mm t bars and 23mm arb with bilstein tarmac dampers at rear with solid sub frame mounts, just trying to cut a wee bit of the roll at the front.

You need the matching bushes and clamps with the 309 bar but other than those its a direct swap.

Given the rest of your spec, i'd say it was a fairly even matched upgrade, worth trying.

Is the 309 axle(and roll bar) not slightly wider?

[swordfish210 20]

thats the rear, the front arb is the same width as the 205 one
