Handling Upgrades
#1
I'd like to increase handling on my 5dr 1999 306 t turbo s. Its juts a bit wobbly and doesnt inspire confidence around high speed corners.

Is there a rear ARB as standard?

I'm going to replace discs/pads upfront, so will look to upgrade to 266mm from an hdi, do i need new calipers or just the carriers? Pads wise, yellow stuff have always worked well for me on other cars, will they do the trick here?

I want to keep the ride height standard for now, but if it turns out i need to replace shocks/springs may go down a touch using eibac/bilstein/or the like. My last 306 could not carry more than one back passenger and i want to avoid this.


Bit of a knocking from the front which i think is drop link.

Finally, will a rear disc conversion really see much benefit? The car wont be used on a track. for now...
