Lowering my 306

[adammiller1950]

Okay, so today i put some wheel spacers on my car and it would look so so much better if the car was a bit lower, perhaps about an inch between the wheel arch and tyre. i know someone who can help me lower the back, i know the torsion bars are Very frustrating. I just wanted to know how to lower the front really? i want to do it the cheapest way possible because i don't see the point in spending a lot on my 15 year old car (not that i don't love it). I am not sure what to do? get coil overs? get smaller springs??

Get lowering springs mate that's your best bet, not sure how much the are now... last I checked where about 50 quid

1. New Coilover set -> Most Expensive
2. Lowering spring
3. Modify std shock absorber to be Height adjustable type.
4. A little bit machining the knuckle (Deepen the knuckle portion that attached to shock absorber) -> Not sure How many, But in my Country just around 20-30 GBP

He asked for cheapest......

Cheapest will be some unbranded springs - they'll ruin the ride and handling but at least it'll look cool.

If you're only going ~40mm down you can keep the OE shocks and just change springs, go for a decent make though, rather than the cheapest available!
