I only really tend to pay any attention to 306 XSi/GTi or Xsara VTS spec beams as they're a sensible starting point for a 306 that you want to actually drive in anger.
If you're still running the original 1.8 beam then don't fit that front ARB yet Sam as you really need an XSI/GTi spec rear ARB to keep things balanced - as mentioned above, if you increase the front ARB rate without a similar increase on the rear it'll become prone to understeer and spinning-up the inside front wheel.
I have gti suspension on the front of my pov spec HDi LX and can vouch for the understeer with a standard rear beam
