309 Beam with 21.3mm bars .... What shock centres?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am in the process of setting the ride height on my 205 gti with reconditioned 309 Beam & 21.3mm torsion bars.

 

I had it set on 305mm shock centres with the standard bars which was a perfect height for me, does anyone know from experience what adjustment I should make to the shock centres to obtain the same ride height with the 21.3mm bars?

 

Thanks

I'd try 295-300, as it will sit higher with stiffer bars.

I'd agree with Peter - around 295mm should be in the right sort of ballpark to roughly match your existing ride height.

All done, 295mm was a bit too low so reset at 300mm crs. This matches ride height for 305mm with the standard 309 bars.
