they have even more toe in than the 306, so would be fairly stable but dull the turn in a bit.I wouldn't use the trailing arms myself, just the torsion bars. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I've got a vts beam on at the moment,As with most things it's swings and roundabouts,great on the open roads but a bit to rigid for Swansea valley roads.Once I finish rebuilding the six beam it's coming off ,mainly because it's lower on the back now ,Are they setup lower as standard?.________________________________________ pet hate, the cat |
