"Felt Spec" A dedicated article on the matter..

I suppose the appropriate phrase here is "Stupid is as stupid does"

[Toms306]

but it doesn't look cool?

But that's an opinion rather than fact though...  Even if it is one I agree with.

Tell me this isnt cool? Surely it is lol

[Matt-Rallye]

No that is cool, but that probably isnt '3 nicks and saxo 60s' dropped is it?

[rd070707]

God no! 3 nicks and 60mm looks shit

[welshpug]

given the proximity of bumper to floor you wont be far wrong at 60mm, probably more.

to me it looks particularly shit, especially when you know there will be zero travel left in the suspension, not like a race carwith raised and tubbed arches, even then they dont sit that low.

But its not a racecar..

Its a car done to how the owner likes it to look, doubtful its a daily driver as its been done properly. Or like the ones that are on air / hydraulic suspension.

Its not my cuppa tea but im not gonna slate it if its been done right.

I was wondering, are Irish speed limits lower or something?  Or are the roads straighter and flatter?  And don't you have supermarkets?  Seem to be speedbumps in every damn supermarket car park here now....I scrape the Focus on most of them, particularly the ones just in the centre of each lane (whats the point!) so dread to think what its like in low cars lol.

I can see the aesthetic point to it, not my cuppa but nor are a lot of aesthetic mods lol.  But I jut cant see why you'd suffer the consequences while driving just to look cool myself.

Irish roads are less suitable for very low cars than English ones.

No offence to the owner....  I don't like that at all!

Rebadged, cyclones, 30mm lift and decent headlights and it'd be much cooler imo!!  As already said though, coolness is personal opinion, unless we're measuring air con efficiency anyway, but that's unlikely on a 306.

[Piggy]

Looks are preference...
Even then I hate to see a cracking 306 ruined.

What bothers me is safety! 60mm saxo springs and bump stops and cut springs is just plain moronic. Its dumb and dangerous.

[welshpug]

But its not a racecar..

reinforcing my point, given a road car or rally car needs far more suspension travel for general use, i.e getting over bumps in the road.

Soo a decked vag on expensive wheels is cool..scene..dub or whatever it is, but a 306 decked isn't? Dunno why I care so much as each to there own opinion an that I know I'd rather have mine the way it was than the run of the mill 30mil and clones as yous all go on about but that's just me 

[welshpug]

no, decked anything is not cool.

No, slammed VAGs aren't cool either.  I really like VAG..but I hate the 'stance' scene with them lol.  Turning up to VAG meets with a standard height car is pretty funny tbf though.

[daveylennon93]

Cant beat a slammed 306.
And most lads that do it hust dont give a f*ck about safety.

[Toms306]

Well that's reassuring for the general public sharing the roads with them.

Didnt realise you go to ireland so much tom!

[Toms306]

Lol, I wasn't really meaning myself, I assume there is a general public in Ireland that don't drive unsafe, broken cars.

[Matt-Rallye]

No didnt you know ireland is just full of derv bumboys with decked and screwed dturbos?

[Toms306]

Oh I see, another place to cross off the holiday list then!

[E_KEL95]

No didnt you know ireland is just full of derv bumboys with decked and screwed dturbos?

Few and fair between there becoming less common on the roads now bar a select few boys how think they are the end all be all of cars...

I might have to try this one 

[Toms306]

I also turned up once with 306 forum stickers...

Oh and once in a 106. And twice in a 306.

Actually went to more VAG meets without a VAG than with lol. That said, I think I've been to 2 or 3 Pug meets in a Golf.
