I've had my Rallye for three weeks now and am pretty happy with it. The only thing that is letting it down is that doesn't handle or feel as nice to drive as my old d turbo hdi and ph1 xsi. Some of that is down to the 16ich wheels and 45 profile tyres which aren't for me, but it is also sitting very high indeed.As you can seee from the pics below it used to be mega high at the front on genuine peugeot standard springs (exactly 25mm higher from wheel centre to arch than my standard HDI). All of the suspension parts were replaced in 2007, and i have found a pic of the car in 2006 appearing to sit lower (maybe its just the cyclones or a bit of sag that makes it look more normal).
Thinking it must be the springs at fault I have fitted some 2nd hand eibach springs and these have dropped it by around 25mm but as it was already 25mm too high this has now dropped it to about standard height.
So, the springs are not at fault - Any ideas what could be causing my height issues (considering everything was replaced three years ago). Has anyone else had similar issues with a high riding 6/rallye?
Ideally I want a 25mm drop from standard height, so given the above this would mean that i would have to put some 50mm springs on. I don't really want to just bung on another set of springs as there must be something else at fault??
