306 Shocks.

Just a quick one if anyone can answer this.

 

Are 306 GTI6 dampers the same as 306 Dturbo ones?

No, they have different part numbers.

 

Fitment is the same, but the damping rate will likely be different

Ok thanks Anthony. I take it GTI6 shocks front are rear are fine on a lowered -30mm 205 GTI with the approriate springs?

Yup - good budget upgrade over standard if you can't justify the cost for something like Bilstein Sprintlines :D

May I butt in here and ask if one can use the springs from a 306gti on a 205, that has already been lowered, or just the strut?

 

Cheers,

Anthony tried this with some -30mm 30 springs and they were higher than std from memory on a 205 with XU9JA in it, may have been different with an XU10 in there.

OK, so I should use 205 specific springs with the 306 shocks. Great, thanks.
