What car you got? LOL

I'll guess as the advert says "PEUGEOT 106 1.3 RALLYE / 1.4 XSi / 1.6 XSi / 1.6 RALLYE / 1.6 GTi" that you have a quiksilver

If so then yes it will fit :)

[Tim]

hes here with me, he says he wishes he has a quiksilver but actually only has a 1.1

[Fuzzy Orange]

I cant think of any reason that it wouldnt still fit

[Tim]

ill let him know, i cant see why it wouldnt either, they never mention 1.1's on ebay when its an engine mod, even things such as air filters. they always list quikky / rallye / gti

On a standard suspension setup quiky, how close to the ground does the lower strut actually sit, ive seen the upper n lower struts on ebay for bou 70 - 80 and would love one but just dnt want hassle if/when i come to lower it.

not really that much mate. about 100-150 or so mm...
iv seen a pic somewhere i will try and find you.

if your looking at lowering your car 50mm i wouldnt bother...

[pugginquik]

Ok cheers, will probably wanna go lower than 50 mm :(

[James.G]

no chance then mate, it will be a bitch and catch on everything!!

[Gina_G]

I had my quiky lowered this much and had a lower brace on did not hit anything. Went over ever bump known to man, only thing to scrapped on was the removeable type speed bump, I think back in the day it was down on 60mm ecosse specials

looking good, wish my quiky was that low!

[James.G]

you might be alright then, just my mate had one on his GTI and had to take it off striaght away as it was catching all the time on the littlest thing, his was on ecosse 60mms aswell....

[pugginquik]

Lol i dont mind it catching so long as its not damaging stuff :)

[James.G]

well you should buy it, because its a good deal... then fit them both... have it for a week or so, see if you come across and problems or anything. if you do sell it on. you wont loose much money on it, and then you will know. :)

[pugginquik]

;) nice one for the advice chap :)

[Nick106]

cheers peeps, bad news though, my 35mm springs have had it so the struts r gunna have to wait a while now.
Got 50mm springs going on now

[gallandro]

I have one on a 40mm lowered car, and its the best mod I have fitted. Makes a massive difference to the handling.

[rich106quiksilver]

I might have to get one. Anyone have pics of how to fit it? I havnt a clue ???

[Freedo]

the omp one has slightly more ground clearence then the sparco brace which i have. my rallyes on eibach pro kit springs (-30mm) i havn't catched it on anything yet. you may have to make a little dent in the exhaust as it rattles on the brace sometimes...

[pugginquik]

Dent my exhaust :o :o :o You must be kidding ;D

Mine makes plenty of noises as is, so one more wont hurt ;)

Cant wait to get one

[hugh_106]

Anyone got some pictures of underneath the car to show how low they are?

[Nick106]

Ill be able to show u on weds how low it will sit, as thts when my mates gunna air gun the wishbone nuts off!

And fit my spax stuff!
