Motoring press raved about the 406's ride & handling, still good by today's standards. Please don't ruin it.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Lower it 35mm with some new OEM shocks and Apex/Eibach Springs and fit a strut brace by all means.
But you start going any lower and you will just ruin the car.
