so, there'll be a basic setup which we can order with modifications depending our needs?to ask your question: The Xsara VTS is roughly 1190kg, but I think I'll go for the custom option, and will weigh my car with the planned modifications and weight saving. ________________________________________ VTSbest 60' : 2.272 best 1/8 ET : 9.375 @ 74.42mph best 1/4 ET: 14.603 @ 97.047mph Team Trackday™ |

Normally , I have a "standard " kit which is a good all round setup for everyday fast road use and the odd track day, then, if you wish, a track biased setup can be available, which basicly consists of stiffer springs, if using the car for competition or heavy track use , I recommend using our sportline 2 units , the difference being an inverted front damper, thus increasing the strength, much more suited for track and competition.adjustable topmounts will also be available regards curtis |

We're also going to find out the various differences between the Xsara models as well. Oh and hopefully we'll find out the rating of the standard GTi6 springs. Sure my eibachs are softer!________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Hi, at the moment, I havent got a price for the kit , untill I know exactly what the kit consists of. The springs we use are 60mm id, The chrome shaft on the standard units are 22mm diameter, The chrome shaft on the competition units are 45mm inverted, or 50mm for rally units, The finish is a hard electro coating, as used on OEM equipment.

think it should be noted that a standard ZX16v and Xsara VTS share the same front springs, and 21mm rear torsion bars though the weight of the cars are a little bit different, not massively. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Hello Curtis, Paul from Xsport here. Any idea how much camber these top mounts will give? Will you be able to machine them to take 2.25" springs and have the platforms made to suit?________________________________________ FOR SALE205 Turbo Technics complete and 306 Rallye Race Build breaking. |
