Hi folks, just got this, it handles like a go-cart in my local twisty lanes. I wonder if anyone knows any specialist 205 pug suppliers of parts and advice? The brakes and suspension are a little tired. Thanks Jerry  |

I had a 1.9 gti about 15 years ago .
Took it to the Nurburgring & suprised a few more powerful cars with the handling .
There’s a company near me called Spooks motorsport .
They do all things Peugeot & used to have some very quick 205’s & think they still dabble with them once in a while .
Sure they’ll be able to help you out .
👍

Brakes are still available form nearly all motorfactors, Brembo discs are only £20 each for the GTi models. Suspension wise is it the front or the rear that's tired?

I'd just stick stock springs and shocks on. Think bilstein were oem.

Peugeot make their own dampers, part of why they have such a reputation for good damping and chassis control for a long time.
best bet is to just refresh what you have brake wise, strip and re-seal the calipers, check the wheel cylinders, fresh brake fluid.
if you want to upgrade there are loads of options, look up the article on the 205gtidrivers forum about what brakes will fit.
its not a DTurbo either, being that late and in that blue its most likely an INCA model, happening to have a Turbo diesel engine, DTurbo was a specific trim model, most were red or grey I believe.

You have solved the mystery of the non-matching engine number! DVLA have it down as a diesel anyway. Thanks for the advice its a crackin motor and 100% a keeper, Jerry |

I don't know what they are normally like, but I know from the blinding reputation that it should feel a bit better controlled. I have also come to the conclusion that heading back to genuine standard parts is a bright idea! |

I'd just stick stock springs and shocks on. Think bilstein were oem. The B4s IIRC are known for being an inferior damper to either the Peugeot Sport items or Bilstein B6s, as Welshpug stated. If it were me I'd go either -Genuine (if they are even made anymore) -B6s (these do seem to have quality issues in the M3 circles (the B4s especially) -Koni Sports; A leftfield choice that is against the grain. But I've seen them on 205s, and they do seem to grip very very well on them, at least around Spa, against a car on B6 suspension  . As for places to get things from, I used to use Miles Shorr from PugRacing. He seemed to be very fair and had a wealth of information. In the Midlands, it may be worth chatting to Darren Langeveld of Destination Nurburgring ; I understand he has alot of parts for 205s now, mainly from breakers. |

Such a cool little car. I was very tempted myself but probably would’ve ruined it in one way or another. Kept checking back to the thread but didn’t really take the plunge because I have no idea when it comes to French things.
Hope you get many pleasant miles out of it!

Suspension wise is it the front or the rear that's tired? cheap Brembo discs and pads aren’t particularly great. Have standard brembo pads on the Impreza they are rubbish. Put brembo discs and pads on my sons mini. Disc warped fairly quickly. |

If it has non vented disks, the 306 TD calipers & disks are a straight swap - you just need the 306 caliper bolts. You get larger calipers & vented disks then. The only time thats not possible is if it has 205 GTI hubs.
For suspension, I think Peugeot Sport do (or did) group N parts

Never had an issue apart from dust with brembos, been on everything from my pick-up truck to my old tdv8 range rover and on swmbos 280bhp mondeo.
Warping is usually caused by either faces not being clean in fitment or too much heat soak.
