Ebay might be one of the best places to look, they do have many types on there prices can differ but worth a look

Nothing better than Bilstein O/E https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153837128933 ... c37cc6b589
Peugeot 406 shocks are normally long lasting, its the coil springs that are a weakness.

The 406 is not exactly a "sports car", so I doubt you will find any lowering kits. That is why I suggested sticking to O/E parts.
