On my pug - do 50+ miles a day and need to keep it soft, but like to improve looks now the 17"s are on Only goin for a 30mm drop at front max.

Is it worth just whackin a set of Eibach -30mm on, coz they are meant to be the closest to OE parts u can get, and excellent ride etc?

I take it there wud be no point splashin out £200+ for a full kit, when i'm not lowerin the rear (coz of heavy work gear), and coz its only a small drop?

cheers

Yeah - i think they are a -30mm kit which would be perfect, and i've always heard how Eibach are rear close to OE spec and excellent quality

At £85 for 2 springs, pricey, but then u pay for what u get

Yes i know it has a torsion bar.

I'd not heard bout the "15mm per step", but if thats true, i might be inclined to take a 30mm drop. But i thought the general rule on the 306 was the min u cud do was 40mm (one notch down)
