Hi All,

I am wanting to get my 206 CC SE lowered. Can anyone recommend having just the springs fitted or the full suspension kit.
Which brand is best for lowing by 40 or 60 mm, I prefer a 60 mm drop.

I have ask my local pug dealer for fitting and they are charging me £55 an hour and they say it will take about 7 hours. Can anyone recomend a cheaper fitting service in Sheffield South Yorkshire.

James.

Hi there, i also am interested to do this to my car ,but i have heard that its possible to adjust the rear suspension instead of front that you have to replace springs only. And i wonder if you replace only springs and leave the original absorver isn;t it a problem? And how is possible to lower exactly the same ammount of front and rear so the car's behavior still remains safe or better than before?

Thanks

Well I finally had my car lowered to 40mm on Ventura Springs which I heard thay they are vewry simulair to the Eibach springs. The ride has not change which I am very happy about :) . Got them fitted at my local independent Peugeot specialist and the labour was alot cheaper than Peugeot was quoting me.
