Even the depths of Carlisle offered to do it for £70 and fit the front for an additional 50/60. IIRC.

Janspeed. There is a coilover review thread somewhere. However, if I was doing it again I would use springs. As unless on Track or constantly changing the height, coilovers are wasted.
Rear - about 50mm originally. Then my axle went boom (Nearly 12 years old) and I haven't re-lowered it yet, so still at standard GTi height.

I wouldn't lower the rear of a 206 for less than £90 and I don't have to make a living out of it.
