    406 coupe koni sport kit

    handling is much better, feels a lot more sturdy and the ride is really good. not spine rattling, probably down to good quality springs. i can highly recomend h&r springs if anyone is looking to lower there car. expensive than most but worth it imho:D

    406 coupe car parts

    hi mate, i own a 2.0 406 coupe. i can assure you there is very little in the way of tuning parts for our model, even in the uk. it is possible though, for a specialist company to fit hi lift cams, turbo's etc but this will cost in the region of £3,000 upwards. firstly i would go with a stainless...

    406 coupe koni sport kit

    h&r sport springs fitted yesterday, and i'm very happy :bigsmile: 40mm drop on the back and 35 at the front, which has levelled it out nicely. ride is good with no harshness as is the handling. h&r are expensive, but worth it imho :D

    406 coupe koni sport kit

    a little up date. since fitting the kit a few weeks ago now and a few 100 miles later, there is no difference in ride height from standard, due to the lesjofors springs. so today i ordered some h&r sport springs. my advice would be, if your looking to get the koni ssk, i would seriously...

    306 Lowering springs!?!?!

    ben, you will not need rear springs mate, yours will have a torsion bar the rear would be lowered by adjusting the bar going by my mates 306. 30mm drop would be ample, it looks just right. ;)

    What does your rev counter tell you

    no mate it's manual . it just seems a lot smoother since the remap, i just put this down to the fact it wasn't reving so high. but i'm no expert :confused:

    What does your rev counter tell you

    definately on the track ;)
  22. R

    What does your rev counter tell you

    basically to see what the car is reving at in relation to the speed i'm doing. eg prior to the superchip, at 80mph rpm was 4000. post superechip 80mph rpm 3500 much better :D

    406 coupe koni sport kit

    hi mate, it's supposed to be up to 40mm drop i'd be happy with 25/30mm but it aint no where near either. so i'm not to happy with the drop at the moment. what realistically do you think i can expect after settle, and how long a period for settling. it's the rear that looks c*&p :confused...
