Hi All,
I'm thinking of lowering the front in my 206,and I have seen many of you guys use different brands for that job,some of you use FK,or Spax,..etc.
So I was wondering which is the BEST brand for lowering springs to be fitted to the 206??
Some of you are well experinced in this job,and know much about it,which is good,which is bad,so please advice me 
Thanx,
Tim

I have yet to lower my car but from reading various topics and getting advice i have been recomended Eibach. After reading some topics on them they seem to lower the car and improve handling but without giving you a crashy ride like some of the cheaper make springs tend to give. The age old saying applies you get what you pay for.

I am told spax are very hard. Maybe they are better for handling at the loss of comfort?
