i know there the same size and fit. but do they work ok? heard mixed stories about them. seen a few 306's with them on and not heard of any trouble.
but had people telling me the springs rates are diffrent and they hit the bump stops etc.
cheers

I had Saxo springs, no trouble for looks. Ride quality is shocking though

Cheap 306 springs are like £50 brand new. It's a bit of a no brainer really...

As you said, the spring rates are wrong. Being for a much lighter car it's not recommended. Also bear in mind it will drop a lot more

Depends of you like driving or just cruising! Even the I wouldn't recommend them completely wrong for a 306, people might have had them with no issues but I wouldn't
