#1: 206 ride height? Author: propower, Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 6:38 am ---- So Iv had my 206 just over a month now, liking it so far although Iv rarely been out driving! Perks of having a workvan, anyhow.. It seems to sit pretty high of the ground. I havnt measured the distance between the ground and the body or the gap between the tyre and the wing.
Is this normal ?

Front 123mm and 133mm (+12/-10mm)
Rear 123mm to 133mm (+14mm/-11mm)
Measurements are taken between the road and jacking points.

Im thinking of lowering it tbh. Just not a cool look sitting as it is ha. Also planning on getting some 307 17" alloys plus a better spoiler on the rear plus a major service, cam belt, oils, coolant and a general look around.
With lowering it, what do you guys suggest ? Coilovers or spring swap on the front ? Also what brand springs or coilovers ? Seen a few sets on fleabay for £130 new, any good or worth dodging ?

Cheers all
A decent spring/damper set up will be the better option and cheap coilovers are to be avoided like the plague if you ask me, ruins the ride completely and generally dont last very long. Unless you need to go really low or adjust the height regularly there's not much need for coilovers anyway.

Yet my racelands, yes racelands the first ebay budget brand are still going strong after 5 years!

Is it wise to fit lowering springs to OE dampers/struts ?
