has anybody got details of lowering kits for the 406?

hi, what sort of details do you require mate.

they come in kits and can lower the car either 40mm . or 60mm.

if you lower it 60mm you will need to upgrade shock absorbers as well (but 60mm is a big drop and you will regret every minuite of it)

but if you drop it only 40mm the standard shocks will do just fine.

Go to the hardware store, buy 4 2" nails, drive over them - car lowered

checked out a few sites and the cheapest seems to be £110, for -35mm kit, anybody know of cheaper?

I lowered my car about a month ago.

Im not sure what model you have but i got mine of camskill, theyre Apex

Pick your model above.

I got mine £110 including delivery

I bought the 40mm set and it only scrapes when there are 4 people and luggage in the car when going over big speedbumps and thats only due to an ill fitting exhaust.

Hope that helps

i'm seriously thinking about lowering mine after i've got my new vulcan 16s alloys.

i very rarely carry adults in the back

nollington . when you say scrape what do you mean ?

do you mean under the car scraping the road ?

or do you mean the tyre scraping the wheel arch ?

I just PM'd you but i might as well tell everyone

It only scrapes when i have four people in the car with luggage going over a violent speed bump.

The wheels dont scrape the arches, it scrapes my ill fitted/ dangly Kwik fit exhaust (I know ha i've learnt my lesson now)

Mine scrapes with 4 people in, but that's more the wider tyres on the back. That said, the 306 HDi estate I'm currently driving scrapes more with standard wheels and suspension carrying 4 people than the 406 does lowered and with 235 tyres.
