206 suspension users? Rock hard suspension - HDIkyle - 10-05-2013
Got a set of brand new TA coilovers with rear shocks from a 206. Fit on perfectly fine with new top mounts ofcourse however. Its rock hard there is no travel at all. They compress fine by hand off the car when fitting ect but while driving there is no travel from them. If yo hit a bump the whole back end just bounces up even full body weight jumping in the boot it only seems to be tyre flex?
I was told 206 suspension was abit too soft for a 306!

It's probably on the bumpstops...

Miles away from the bumpstops
its an standard height axle also

Are you meaning it's ONLY the back end being uber bouncy?
RE: 206 suspension users? Rock hard suspension - HDIkyle - 10-05-2013
Well its all around is hard but the back end in particular Ye Its solid. Fronts not low still got both springs in

That's weird.. if anything you'd expect it to be super soft...

Cant see any reason for this other than the 206 beam is so different that the rear shocks are on full compression at standard height on a 306.
What is the overall condition of the beam?
RE: 206 suspension users? Rock hard suspension - Toms306 - 10-05-2013
The 306 is much heavier than a 206, springs/shocks are probably more compressed under the extra weight so they've lost the 'bounce' travel.
Just my opinion any way.

Hmm it don't look compressed it don't drop when jacked up anyway have a look on my project thread
RE: 206 suspension users? Rock hard suspension - puglove - 10-05-2013
