If it helps I know they bolt straight on as theres a 306 at work with them on, i'd imagine flat seated but as Nail says, just check the holes Smile

Quick question what psi air should I be putting in seeing as theyre 185/65/15?

Think they look really nice shame about the baloons. They are like new but slight curbing on one

^^^That.

Just watch the rears don't scrub though, should be alright as they're thinner but obviously they're a bit taller too.

Yeah theres plenty of clearence. The lad that had them on a 306 was lowered 60mm on front and didnt catch :/

Next question... what do people think to gmax shocks? They came of a 1.8 so will they be ok for a hdi.

1.8 springs dont go well with anything other than 1.4,1.6 and 1.8. The 1.8 was the lightest of the XU range in the 306s by far so if you bung them on your car, it will drop slightly further and probably be quite horrible to drive. When i fitted my 1.8 springs to the gti, it handled like a sack of shit. ask ed Tongue
