From what i can gather Sean they are sprung for the 205 The 460/250 is the rating, the 306 tarmac spec dampers were 600/300. They may well fit but im not sure if they would be any good for a 306  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

I think you'd find 600/300's would be a mite uncomfortable on the road anyway ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I will see if i can find out if Seans should fit then They are listed as 205/309 GTI Group A, i think Miles reccomends the GRP N's, anyone know the difference? How much do you want for them Sean? If they fit i may as well give them a go i guess  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

they'll fit fine as to the difference, probably damping rates, ask miles, or Skip brown possibly. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
