I've bought some 50mm drop front springs to go on the bilsteins, how much should I lower the back down as it sits rear high as std. And want it to be more flat
Cheers!

more flat = shit handling, needs to be slight nose down, just drop it the same amount.50mm is too low on stock dampers torsion bars and basic lowering springs, 30mm is about the most you wan to go before upping spring rates. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I changed my driveshaft the problem continued. After doing a thorough check realised the previous owner dropped the car 40mm on 1.6 206 springs. I am now in the process of correcting this problem what is a suitable drop for a 6 and what dampers should i use to ensure a smooth ride ________________________________________ RJ |
