Only get coilovers if you are going stupidly low or adjusting the ride height a lot. Otherwise, get springs.

If you've got the money go with Billie, Eibach or AST coilovers.

Well if budget is not a problem then look at the Tein range. I think they have electronically adjustable ones that you can change height by sitting in your car

The coilovers must have been a different spring or damper rate then.

A damper with spring and a coilover of the same rate will behave identically.

why D2? do you know D2 is well over price? D2 is actually made in taiwan.

and also, tein don't do electronically adjustable dampers for 206. r at least not off the shelf

not to mention tein is also just another brand of "cheap" taiwan coilovers, the lowest spec coilovers are twin-tube as well.

and basically you can convert standard dampers to coilovers easily Laughing

Larkspeed aren't the best priced for pricing for Bilstein. On the 206 Bilstein B14 kit they are at £873.00 where as we are at £562.14...
