There's no specific manufacturer name against them either, i.e. OMP, G-Max, Spax, etc.

email told me they are G-max unbranded springs

i might try them see what car looks like

ok does any1 with a lowered 406 have problems with the wheels rubbing or catching on the arches ?
im lowering my car 40mm but i dont want the wheels to rub if i go over a bump
my wheels are standard 406 alloys

Very slight scraping on the rear inner arches when fully loaded on the rear suspension, i.e. on dips in the road at speed. That said, I am running 235 wide rear tyres which won't help matters! With standard rims and tyres you shouldn't have any catching at all. Mine doesn't catch on the front wheels at all.

Yeah agree with BigChief, standard 15's shud be no prob.

Probably wroth a try if you're fitting them yourself ?

I run on 235/40/17's with an 80mm drop all round so far, just had 2 modify the upper rear damper strengthening support at evidence of contact, so now only have light rubbing on the rear splash guards when loaded up, or on an occasional harsh landing

Tbh it's a small sacrifice for the satisfaction of ripping up the speed ramps with what's left of my towbar

But that's just me
