So go the front wings on, 17" wheels and 225x45 tyres, and by my measurements I need to lower the front by 100mm!.This will still give me 85mm of wheel travel upwards before it touches (if it ever gets that high) the wing. I knew the Maxi wings were large but I will need some advice on how to go about lowering the front, most coilovers I have looked at only state a maximum of 60mm drop in height. Any ideas please. |

speak to Satchell engineering, they might be able to help, lowering that far on standard hubs and wishbones is just a route to disastrous handling.have you tubbed the inner arches? maxi's ran a chunky 18" tyre, quite a b it bigger than stock Radius. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I have the technical manual for the Maxi and it states 17" for gravel and 18" tarmac. I don't mind the 'jacked up' look, I want it to look more like a rally replica than a circuit racer. At the moment though it looks more like a 4x4 with batman wings. Welshpug, I dont know what "tubbed the inner arches" means. I'll contact Satchell and see what they suggest. |

look at the inner arches on the pics here.http://pscuk.net/threads/53703-Had-a-spin-in-an-Ex-Works-306-Maxi! they run more caster so the wheels are further forward as well. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
