3 inch lowered springs 406 1.8i 1998
Is it possible to fit 3 inch lowered springs with the standard shockers,got a broken spring a been offered the springs as a freebie and will need to strip the suspension down to replace some worn links etc so if these would fit i would stick them on.

I believe 40mm is the lowest drop you can do with the standard shockers so 3" (75mm) is too much i'm afraid

if you live in area with no speed humps bad holes in road etc, you can get away with having them low,
ihad a fiat that ilowerd and ended up driving over speed humps at an angle or it wouid get caught up on the undertray
it was fun while it lasted,
adjustable coil overs are the way to go ithink
