60mm and 7.5j?

technically speaking, TBS should be thicker when being lowered anyway, just not many do so.

But if you are taking three guys everyday to work, its time to tell them to go walk or pick you up once in a while. yes it will bugger up ya corner weights, but then why CHOOSE to make your car dangerous and handle poorly? giving a few guys a lift isnt a permanent dangerous mod is it!?its also to do with spring tension and coil rate, little like a damper rate.

But I dont think anyone is guna change your mind, you obviously know better.

FYI: citroen AXs were even lighter, try some of those springs

But it is creating the exact same situation/ circumstances as a 306 with a heavier engine on springs designed for a lighter engined car. By your logic one situation is dangerous, the other isnt. With regard to a "permanently" dangerous mod as opposed to having the lads in the back, which by your reckoning is "temporarily" dangerous, there cant be a timescale to the danger, its either dangerous or not.

FYI i dont lower my 306 by the nick method, its crude. I set it to the height i want it and adjust the torsion bars accordingly. Im on 35mm Koni springs (i removed the saxos as i couldnt be bothered with the discomfort) and adjustable Koni shocks with the torsion bar set to match.

I just see people on car forums regurgitating something, someone once said that in their opinion was dangerous, with no thoughts as to why.

60mm saxos in a 306 have passed the Northern Ireland MOT, a much stricter test than you have in England, Wales & Scotland, as it is completely independant. The only comment the examiner had was that it was very stiff. That would have been the konis set to their stiffest setting and not the springs.
