There is one man sitting in the back, and it looks amazingly for me :twisted:

When the car is empty back is about one inch higher and it doesn't look so great :?

Thanks for attention and i am very sorry for my weak English i am learning it only :)
I'll try to update information about jobs around the car :)

I had to stop before i go through the speed bump, because sometimes exhaust takes a little crash into speed bump.
But i've heard, that speed bumps in Ireland are little bit higher :)

Nah, we don't have speed bumps here. This sort of ride height is largely accepted and practised :lol:

Looks, that what I know is wrong :oops:
My girlfriend's parents live here and said, that speed bums are high ant long..I don't know where is the truth :)

p.s. Lovely dropped 306. How about technical inspection? Is it all right if u come with such a low car like this? :)

You will see lots of cars like this over here but they are nothing but trouble!! There are lots of speed bumps which are generally quite high :( worse however, are potholes. After our coldest Winter ever a lot of our roads are in a bad state. Your 406 is nice the way it is, I wouldn't suggest lowering it any further. Nice pics btw :)

Thank you :)

You must see our roads after winter - they are horrible! Trust me, roads in Ireland are much more better than here :)
Of course, this winter you had about -17 oC as I know.. It makes me smile a bit, because we had temperature about -20 and more few weeks in a row, and there are -5 at the moment.. There were -28..-30 oC last winter and tones of snow...
So just try imagine how much and what size holes on the road we have here :cry:

You have to be very careful when driving lowered car with low profile tires :)
So I am searching r15 original alloy wheels with 195/65(60) tires in order not to broke teeth :)

Teamster1975: I just want to learn something how to make my 406 better and share what i have and know :)

p.s. As I said, I am quite weak in English and want to improve it :) So, mate = friend, fellow? (I have seen, that this is quite often word in forum, but i have heard it as a name of condoms only :) )

There was installed material which stops vibrations... And it does. I feel huge difference when i have replaced driver's doors after a little accident and it hasn't anti-vibro material..
Now more sounds come from driver's side than from passenger's (where material still is) :twisted:
