Very tidy.
Some real love gone into this! Quite like the stealths too weirdly...they just seem to work on this one!
Big hate for the saxo springs though...sorry. Safer options out there for not much money
Just seems a shame to have such mint bodywork...and ruin it with something so simple.
Looks very mint though...loving the ph1 love

Cheers lads. Cant wait to lower the rear now and a slight tint for the back window.
It was a hard decision between stealths of volcanes but i think the stealths suit her better.
. Imo i think 60 saxos are the best tbh. i dislike coilovers very much lol and were i live they would be bust in no time haha

They are only best if you want the wrong springs for your car. They are saxo springs...not 306 springs
Stealths a definite good choice over volcraps!

Hello fellow cherry phase 1 owner. Very nice looking car. Wouldn't be my first choice of wheels but a good retro wheel nevertheless.

Thanks guys. I still have the saxo' s in the front piggy. If I bought coilovers they would be bust in no time on my country roads :p
Jimbo I would say they would be worth anything from £150 up depending on condition, caps and tyres. I think there the only wheel for a phase1.
This car is soon getting a bigger turbo and a fmic so I will keep use updated

What piggy is saying is buy some lowering springs that are rated for the weight of the 306, not saxo, they won't react properly

There actually pretty good tbh. Got the springs which were only 3 weeks old and the struts for £30
I have 60mm 306 ones there but they don't really make a difference.

I had 60mm saxo springs on mine back in the day with no problems. Couldn't tell the difference in handling or ride between them and 306 60mm's tbh, they certainly didn't bounce me all over the place!
I think if you buy cheap springs off ebay you get what you're given and like it!
Fantastic looking car by the way mate, i'd be tempted to put the back up a little or lower the front a tad though as to get a bit of positive rake.
If you lower the back more it will squat it's arse and look like every other 'felt spec 306 ever!
