beam colour ?? - chippyba - 18-05-2013
Hi just wondering if there's any difference between beams n there colour tube
I've got a hdi black tube (standard height) and gti beam yellow tube
is it worth fitting as I've got full gti front legs n hubs
RE: beam colour ?? - ozonehostile - 18-05-2013
its not the color that matters, its the arb and torsion bar sizes
RE: beam colour ?? - Matt - 19-05-2013
Tube you have been painted due to rust? I didn't realise there was diff colours, thought they were all rusty yellow lol
RE: beam colour ?? - Jimbo - 19-05-2013
I think yellow tube axles have gti6 spec torsion bars and arb, black tube is standard I think
RE: beam colour ?? - londondan86 - 19-05-2013
I think it's been painted at some point. My old '95 xrdt had yellow tb's
RE: beam colour ?? - Niall - 19-05-2013
The tube is the same on all 306's.
Its the TBs and ARB that are different. Torsion bars are all red but have different colour bands round them. 2 Silver ones are gti. 2 green ones are VTS

Do TB's differ between HDi/GTI?

Depends on the Model of HDi. I THINK Dturbo HDis have GTi spec suspension but Meridian HDis have comfort/faggot spec suspension
RE: beam colour ?? - ginge191 - 19-05-2013
Ah i never knew... interesting to know. The beams' being changed soon on the HDi; any tell-tell signs of type/size of TB?
RE: beam colour ?? - chippyba - 19-05-2013
So do the ride heights differ between beams ???

yeah they do, gti is lower, if you'd owned a family spec 306 you'd know
RE: beam colour ?? - chippyba - 20-05-2013
Checked my tbs their red with 2 purple strips
what does that mean ???
RE: beam colour ?? - barney - 16-04-2014
Means your special
RE: beam colour ?? - Toms306 - 16-04-2014
2 purple strips is meridian...19mm tbs and about 20mm higher than sports spec as standard.
Edit - damn, bit of an unnecessary revival barney.
Re: beam colour ?? - kentiiboii - 16-04-2014
