right then.

i want to lower my 206,
first of all, would i need to buy coilovers or would lowering springs do the job?

i want the car to look good, and i want to reduce the body roll, but i'm not sure which would be better - breaking the bank for coilovers or to just buy the springs?

while im here, to lower the torsion bar on the back of the car.. would i need to buy any new parts like springs or shocks? or can it be done with a few tools?

as you can tell i dont have a clue! confused

any suggestions will be appreciated!
cheers people smile

Post in French Bread, your likely to get more answers I'd imagine.

Lowering springs on the front and adjustment of the rear beam will lower the car also consider a strut brace to help stiffen things up front a tad. Lowering the beam requires it to come off the car, sockets, spanners and swearing usually works, personally, I'd take it to a garage, as rear beam tampering while not complicated, is a bd of a job.
