Torsion bars for 205
#16
A bigger ARB will help keep it flatter when cornering and thus the outside wheel won't tuck quite so far up in the arch, but it's not going to help if you're also scrubbing on bumps etc in a straight line.

If you've got base model 309 torsion bars then it's likely you've got a base model ARB too - if so, a GTi-6 one will be a massive change

Have the original base model arches been cut out on that shell when the plastic arch trims were fitted? If not, then it's no wonder you're having problems as lowered 309 beams on base model shells are problematic at the best of times, let alone when it's so soft.

Also, check your bump stops are still present - they're often missing and that'll only exasibate tyre and arch intimacy issues.
