Hi ive got my 6 on 40mm spax springs but i still want it to come down another 10mm or so. I no nothing about suspension and wondering if different shocks would bring the front down more or am i going to have to buy some 50 or 60mm springs?Sorry if its a stupid question guys! Thanks, Tom |

Adjustable coilovers or 60 mm springs on your shocks I would have thought________________________________________ Life is short, make it interestingBuy a Peugeot! |

The shocks will not affect ride height, its a spring change I'm afraid....________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Of nothing, just a phase as I am guessing he would rather not shell out for new springs, but thats the only way he will achieve the desired effect.... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
