Just normal BX Spheres, if I remember correctly, the TZD Turbo models used the LONG TRAVEL soft spheres..

im just after having a look and instead might go with non hydractive spheres for the petrol xantias which are 400/70/1.65 on the fronts ..would there be any problem in putting them on the rear aswell :roll:

Not really.. mind you, the standard spheres on the rear can be quite soft, I put some on my Xantia TD SX, and it was ok - HOWEVER, it wasn't untill I changed the rear arm bearings for new ones did the massive difference come about!!

She will squat RIGHT DOWN onto her rear bump stops - Luvvvly!!!!
