Will these be sufficient to lower my 206, or will I need anything else along with them, also are these a good choice to lower it about 40mm? Thanks in advance

Why not just go for a decent set of Eibach springs? Only drop 35mm but about a third of the price.

Is that what I would need? nothing else? Springs for just the front or both the front and rear? (Im useless when it comes to knowing stuff about cars if you cant tell ha)

Them and a decent set of dampers, no point with coil overs for that height.
206 doesn't have springs on the rear, it has a torsion bar which needs adjusting.

Ahh alright, any recommendations for the dampers?
Which ones should I go for? Link Do I get springs for the front and the back then?
I have a 2006 1.4 by the way, if that helps.

What's your budget?
If you aren't really fussed about handling just get some budget springs are just use standard dampers. When you get bored of it and sell it on you won't regret having blown hundreds of quid. Especially for that height drop.
It's not what I'd do, but it's reality for most of the people doing this sort of thing

Budget is about £300 or less, I wont lower it if it makes the ride terrible, its just I bought some brand new Calibre Motion 2 15"s for it and the gap is horrific, lowering it about 40mm would make it look a lot better.
