How to get a better handling on the 406
Moderator: RichardW
Tyres is a good place to start. Mine had Continental EcoContacts and the handling was so bad I repeatedly had the geometry and shocks checked. When I replaced them with trusted p6000s, the handling was transformed and felt really planted and confidence inspiring.
Check the dampers are in good nick. I doubt aftermarket dampers would improve things, but stiffer springs would reduce the roll.
Or you could do what I did, sell it and get a Xantia Activa. No roadholding problems there...

i'm running on Pirelli P6 205/60/15 on the original rims.
original dampers and springs.
also i'm looking forward to change by brake hoses to steel braided, does the Pug have any original parts on that?
any recommendation on rotors and pads apart frm originals and Valeo's...
is it advisable to put in a cross-drilled or slotted ones whilst on original pads and calipers... is there an original after market ones for the 406....on 15" wheels... i notice that the 406 coupe runs on Brembos..wonder what the 206RC180 is on??
over here its difficult to get a hold of after market kits / parts for the french cars as the demand is less. however, there is a growing demand for it...
any assistance would be appreciated.
thank you.
