#1: Front springs Author: Boywonder7, Location: AberdeenPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 5:36 pm ---- Lads needing a bit of help just fitted 60mm lowering springs to the front of my car they were apex ones but after fitting them the ride height has not changed at all only to find out they were for a 2.0hdi this meaning my car ain't heavy enough for the springs.... Can anyone tell me the correct set of springs to fit to notice a considerable difference?

#3: Re: Front springs Author: Boywonder7, Location: AberdeenPosted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 2:09 pm ---- Sorry for the delay its a 1.1 just need it lowered to the height that I want for it to be complete really... Iv ordered 35mm springs and plan on cutting a coil off to see how it sits that way but if anyone has bought springs without going down the coil over route would be much appreciated

I think the 206 has the bottom coil bent out to fit into the lower spring plate and stop it rotating ... So if you cut the lower coil off it will not have anything to stop it unless you can reshape the spring ...

So you think you can replicate the way these springs are wound at the ends?
