hey everyone, just got myself a 306 rally and will be takin it on track soon. had a search but theres so much info i cant siv out the answer im lookin for. I want to upgrade the rear suspension setup.

Im thinking solid beam mounts... just seen davyboy on here does them
uprated dampers... recommendations?
thicker arb? seen a thread on here just now about these
thicker torsion bars... from xsara vts?

the car is for road use with occasional track use.

If anyone can help me out that'd be great Big grin

I'd be tempted to raise it up a bit and then at least get some dampers to match the front. The thicker rear ARB is good modification. I guess the 21mm TBs would be an idea with the stiff KWs on the front.

ahh i see, hes a user on here. just had a little look at that thread. ideally i need some new dampers before the 19th of this month. plus as good as they sound and look, they may be a little expensive for me right now. just out of interest, would they be alright for everyday use or are they more track focused?

The base setup is as an all-rounder - so you can use them on bumpy b-roads without your girlfriend getting overexcited.
