Shock recommendations

Post by 205pete »

I was quite suprised to see only 23 topics in the Suspension section of the forum. Am I doing something wrong?

Anyway, I'm interested to know what sort of shocks and springs you fellows have had good experiences with on 406s. I've got a V6 sedan that I'd like to lower a touch and change the shocks at the same time. It looks like my usual favourite, Bilstein, don't make a sporty shock for 406s off the shelf :(

Did you look at the dates? We only just had a reorg, before we had one section for engine, gearbox, steering, suspension, etc, etc. which was just silly. Have a search there, you might actually find something useful :oops:

You want a new shock? Catherine Zetor-Tractor is now a CBE, she lives where? She makes films for Who? She's married to whom? I should be a fecking lord! :roll:

Yeah you really have to search to find performance parts for a 406 dontya!
I bought a new pair of Koni Adjustables for mine April this year so should still be available :).

On full adjustment they are rock hard, improving turn in and roll stiffness greatly, but obviously i experimented to find the best handling (well, still am actually ).

Although they are no shorter than the originals, so i had to make custom top mounts to accommodate my 80mm Drop :)

But that's just me :)

Good luck all :)
