Peugeot 406 COUPE 1997-2004 — Coilovers

The 406 Coupe wears Pininfarina’s prettiest lines over a chassis Peugeot tuned for relaxed grand touring, not for keeping its body flat through a quick sequence of B-road corners. Soft springs and long-travel factory damping deliver the float, the nose-dive under braking and the lean owners feel the moment they lift the pace. XYZ Racing coilovers for the Peugeot 406 Coupe swap that GT softness for adjustable ride height and damping, so the car finally sits and steers the way its shape suggests it should.

This is the range page for the full XYZ Racing line-up on the PE12 Coupe, from Super Sport through to Circuit Master. You pick the spec that matches how you actually use the car, whether that is a tidier fast-road set-up, an occasional track day, or a dedicated rally or drift build.

What this coilover kit does for your 1997-2004 Peugeot 406 Coupe

The most obvious change is stance: lowering the long-nosed Coupe tightens the wheel-arch gaps and drops the centre of gravity, which calms the body roll that the standard set-up never fully contains. Height-adjustable spring perches let you set the drop to suit your wheel and tyre choice rather than living with a fixed kit. On the heavier V6 cars, firmer damping reins in the front-end understeer and the dive you feel under hard braking, giving sharper turn-in. Independent damping adjustment means you can run a softer setting for daily UK roads and stiffen things up for a track session without touching ride height.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

Every XYZ Racing coilover for the 406 Coupe is a full ride-height and damping-adjustable unit rather than a lowering spring on a standard strut. The six specifications span different use cases: Super Sport for fast road, Top Sport for track days, Racing Spec for circuit competition, Tarmac Rally and Drift Spec for their respective disciplines, and Circuit Master for serious lap work. Spring rates and damping characteristics step up across that range, so a road-biased Coupe and a competition build are catered for from the same family. Threaded bodies allow corner-balancing, and the kits are designed to bolt to the factory mounting points.
