Hi, coilovers are not too hard ?
How much are you down ?

[cybernck]

No, I am used to sporty cars, so it's fine.

Actually, it made me sick driving a standard car - it was like a boat.

I think it's lowered about 7 cm.

[cybernck]

Just a quick update.


I've had this idea for winter wheels setup for a while and I've finally got it done now.
406 Coupe V6 Starfish wheels, 7x16" ET12. I don't think I've ever seen another 307
with them on.



Nice and wide, they fill the arches just like the later version Coupe wheels (Hoggar)
I've had on the car in the past, but visually suit the 307 better. All I now need is
a V6 engine, haha.

Nice winter wheels.

You need 302mm brake disc for front for the V6 haha.

The car is lower 7cm than before. this is not to hard on bad road ?

[cybernck]

Yeah, I'll have to do something about the brakes .

I have already explained how I find the car after the lowering in that post where I said that it is lowered about 7 cm .

Hello and Happy New Year!

The last year went without updates, but that doesn't mean I haven't done any work on the car.


First, a few photos from from a Winter trip to Budapest (HUN) and Spring trip to Split and Trogir (CRO).
Nice stance and still able to carry four people without any issues. And I love getting standard 307 Break
and/or SW examples in the same shot with 307 Breaknck :-).




Other than low stance and big wheels, I also like big and powerful brakes! That's why I fitted
406 Coupe V6 Brembo 4-pot calipers that I used to have on my 405 T16 as well. However, the original
406 Coupe V6 setup uses 305x28 mm discs, but due to the design of 307's hubs, they fit straight on
only with standard 307's 283x26mm discs (just ilke on 205/206/306). This is not a huge upgrade,
looks silly and I don't like making compromises.




Therefore, I decided to go a step further - here's a 305x28 mm drilled and grooved disc fitted on.
However, there's not enough space for caliper-adapters, therefore I've had to get creative with it.
The solution I went with are Renault Megane RS 225 Brembo calipers with custom-made caliper mounts
(they have no mounts, unlike 406 Coupe V6 Brembo calipers with integrated mounts). Let's see how
it works out.




The caliper goes on just like planned. And here you go - 4-pot Brembo calipers with 305x28 mm discs
(note that the caliper is test-fitted up-side down in this photo). It's a massive improvement over
standard brakes! With custom caliper mounts, I could have gone for any disc size, but I've had to
stick with 305 mm setup in order to be able to fit my Winter wheels (406 Coupe Hoggars, 7x16" ET12).
They fit straight on, without spacers.




Just a test to see how they fit with Compomotive MO 7x17" ET15 - these wheels also clear the calipers
without the need for wheel spacers. However, with 307 Challenger 6.5x17" ET31 wheels, a 20 mm wheel spacer
is required in order for wheels to fit over the Brembo calipers. Of course, my RS GT 7.5x18" ET15 wheels
could easily house even bigger brakes with no bother.




Although I do have a few more things planned for the car (I'm quickly running out of ideas though),
I've now provisionally put the car up for sale, as I'm not really using it much. But I hope to be
able to do a few more updates first .

A tes souhaits

[Mecano.S]

Nice job it's beautiful!

what is the model dampers (coilovers)? Not too firm (hard)? And what is the latest model of rims (RS GT?) They go great on your 307 I wonder what would happen on mine, black and 3 doors, front -4cm. Rear-3cm
What are your settings front / rear?

quel est le modèle d'amortisseurs (combinés filetés) ? Pas trop ferme (dur) ? Et quel est le modèle des dernières jantes (RS GT ?) elles vont très bien sur ta 307 je me demande ce que ça donnerait sur la mienne, noire et 3 portes, -4cm avant. -3cm arrière
Quels sont tes réglages avant/arrière?

[cybernck]

Thanks.

They are Jamex coilover kit, but I believe they come under many names, and they're not too hard.



It is lowered about 8-9 cm front and rear.


I've got a photo of a black 3-door one with these rims, just not lowered. PM me you email address and I will send it to you.

Hello and happy new year,

For the brake system, it existe 302mm disc on 2.0 180HP and 2.0 Diesel 136hp.

Don't sell it, i like to follow your upgrade

[cybernck]

Yes, but it is 302x26 mm with standard calipers .

[bobyrush]

yes of course now you cant mount 16inch wheels ?

[cybernck]

[bobyrush]

Oh It looks like 302mm with 16 inch, not much space. look sporty
