Depends on what springs, they do lower but depends on what springs.
Can check out here....
H&R Springs | Products || H&R Special Springs, LP

I am using H&R Sport Springs.

Today i checked my ride height, it seems to have lowered down, but by abit only i think. It did not lower to what the site said, which is 1.5"-1.8".

What you guys think??

Call your friends, treat them to a Teh Tarik session and u pick them all and bring them to the shop.
Get 4 healthy size friend. 3 seat at the back, one at the front.
Take the longer route.
On the way back, do the same thing-take the longer route.
Find a route where u know there will work the suspension more.

Then, get back to us see if this works.

I think my car ride is lowered, but not by much. Thats why i didnt really feel it. But after observing it and asking friends, i think is has lowered abit. Just not as much i hope for and not what the website claim. Maybe the car makes a different. Some car can be lower than another. I assume this is because stock 408T height is quite high to begin with. You can tell by the wheel arch. Before putting the H&R spring, you can see the coils when u are standing about 8ft away. Now you cant really see it. But i belive due the wheel arch size and design, it gives u the impression that it is not lowered by much.

As for the ride, i can say there is different. It is definitely stiffer. Coz now the feedback from the steering and seat is more obvious. Road surface condition is felt more obvious now. The body roll is still there, but very very minimal. You can feel it for a split second, then everything hold its position. I belive it is because the spring is progressive. As explained in the past few post, progressive springs tends to still be soft until compressed. Thats why i still feel the split second body roll when i take corners. But once into the corner, its stiff and handles well. The steering also is stiffer now.

I think i didnt feel a BIG difference is because, the 408T has a sports tune suspension to begin with. It is stiffer than the 408 NA and also stiff than any 2.0 C-Segement cars. So thats why i didnt feel the BIG difference. But when you really concentrate and observe, there is improvements and difference.

To sum it up, i am satisfied with the springs. Just hope that in the next few days to come, the springs will settle in lower abit more.....Hopefully...hahahahahaha

Hope this feedback help......Thank you guyssss...

Stock tyre will be smaller, higher aspect ratio so ride and performance will be totally different.
Get UHP on your next set, then can feel the performance....

18" and HR springs and it's still too high? Wah.. how big is your wheel well man?

 

[marv3]

Google Peugeot 408 Turbo. Have a look. But when u look, take note the rims is 17". Mine is 18". So you can roughly gauge how big the wheel arch is.


DRIVEN: Peugeot 408 Turbo and 408 2.0

Thanksss

that's one mofo huge wheel well.

With lowered springs I think you're at a sensible height. Why not take some pics and show us la?

Hellozz...As requested....The front wheel arch is not 1 fist size from the rubber....The original wheel arch design is really huge...What u guys think?

 

[Izso]

I think it looks low enough. But is the floor uneven or something? The front seems a little more elevated than the rear
