I've seen a few 306s on events there was a really nice white Rallye on the Garstang & Preston Rally, unfortunately it retired with a fuel leak

It'll be from bottoming out due to the cut springs, not enough suspension travel.

yeah I'm a little concered about that and I agree I'd say it was definitely caused by the spring bottoming out, that'll teach me for cutting springs down, but I think I have a solution, although if your a good engineer and looking at your sig I'd guess you are, you probably won't like it Smile I was thinking I could grind the locating tab off the strut and weld on a collar maybe 1/2" further up the tube this will allow the strut to go slightly further into the hub past the crease and unto a straight bit of tube returning the camber back to spec and moving the load area away from the weakened crease , I can compensate for the lower ride height with either a Skip Brown Rally spring or by fitting a coilover conversion kit and adjusting to the desired height, I told you, you wouldn't like it Smile
