ahh its my fault, i clicked save for some reason lol, instead of submit

so does any of you know if the hatchback springs will fit the saloon? and if so where can i get a set

also, is there a guide section on here?....my speedo clocks have stopped working for some unknown reason?

[mrcarlxx]

right i dont mean to sound silly....and i dont want to post a new thread but, are all 406's saloons?...did they do a hatchback?

because i am getting a little confused here previously i have been typing "406 saloon lowering springs" but dont seem to get any answers on google.

so do you know if these will fit?

Greetings Mr Carl

406s came in saloons, estates and coupes. No hatchbacks at all Ah, so you're another one after loosing exhausts on speed bumps

I don't think there's an actual guide on fixing clocks, it's usually bad connections anyway.

Hello and welcome

I would personally avoid GMax suspension. I had a full GMax Lowering kit on my Focus and within 3 months the shocks were locked solid. Ended up going back to standard shocks and Eibach springs. It helped that Ford sell the Eibach lowering kit though ... however after that experience, I wouldn't go back to GMax again

i have used them on three of my calibras with no problem at all...but i used the std shockers, they did knacker after a year or so..but i had some spare struts laying around so i just swapped the springs over
