My Rallye is running -40mm springs on what appears to be std shocks. Handles pretty well.

You may find over properly bumpy roads the shocks can't keep up with the springs and the ride gets a little crashy (have this issue with the daily Mondeo that's been dropped 50mm with a set of springs..) and ultimately may shorten the life of the shock but not noticeably so.

It's very unlikely that any third parties make these as they almost never need replacing.

It'll be Peugeot or nothing.
