   COILOVER PEUGEOT 106 / CITROEN SAXO ADJ. SUSPENSION - HOTTUNING FULL COIL OVER KIT
   
   Saw this on ebay and had a look. Claims can lower the car from 20mm to 110mm. £208.00 delivered. Do you think 110mm or anywhere near is achievable? Anyone had any experience of hottuning?

   What the hell lol, and yeah these "coilovers" as they are called are probably about as good as a tumble dryer spinning with bricks in it. Would stay well away if i were you. Better off getting the 50mm apex kit.

    those coilover kits go coilbound when lowered lots. We ordered some in for a customer as he wanted a set and when he fitted them he said they were quite dangerous.

    kamracing, there not actrally goin coilbound, if you read my thread on them its basiacly shows the design of the top spring pan is at fault.
    
    by all accounts the car i fitted my set to seems to be doin rather well and havent heard a bad word about the suspension, since it was modified.
