For a FREE version I think it is fantastic.....This will be a great comms centre for CC owners and I will use it more as it is 100x quicker on my browser.

Simon...
which do u think is a better kit to lower the CC...

KoeniC or H&K, Bilsten???

Eibach or Bilstein as a second choice...

However be aware that if you are considering lowering the rear then at the very least a thicker antiroll bar should be used, then perhaps replacing the Torsion bars for uprated items..

What about just adjusting the torsion bars in the back.. and uprate the shocks in the front...

Eibach??? were can you source that from? isit any good?

You will find that "adjusting" the Torsion bars actually makes the rear softer..

The CC being very soft compared to the GTi.. Why? to reduce the creaking roof/windows etc and to limit "scuttle" shake..

But the act of lowering does make the centre of gravity lower and therefore you will feel the car corners better..

Luckily the 206GTi Torsion bars are thicker and pretty cheap..
Be aware though that they are quite a bit stiffer and the suspension may create more creaks from the roof rubbers etc

So replace the CC torsion bars with 2001 model 206GTi ones if you are going to lower it, That is my recommendation
