Alternate springs for 406 sedan

Post by 406BE »

i was wondering if there are any alternate springs ( from other models or makes (frenchies ofc) that will fit on the 406 sedan, i'm looking to lower it about 40mm
i remember hearing somewhere that the clio backsprings are good for the front of the 406 ...
can anyone confirm ? and any ideas fro the back...

ihere in belguim decent spring sets cost about 400 euros , ofc i'm trying to do this cheaper ^^
if anyone is getting rid of a set , i could also be intressted and would pay for shipping ofc ;)

never heard of clio springs for front of a 406,

i certainly wouldnt try that ,,, you can get aftermarket type springs

apex, g-max make lowering springs , will lower car 40mm and you wont need new shocks,

if you go lower than 40mm you will need new shocks as well
