Ride ! Some people have got this thing about the 4x4�s rear suspension; they think that because it�s hydraulic it�s difficult to work on. Get the car to Col at PPM and he�ll sort the rear out for �40. The only serious problem with lowering is going too low. At 70mm you can expect to set a few more sparks flying than you bargained for. 18�s simply aren�t a problem for the 405, which obviously means, that with a little bit of arch work, 19�s will go on! Don�t forget the 15-20mm offset when getting the wheels!

The standard brakes are fine for stock cars, but if you�re thinking about power and who doesn�t? then upgrade. You�re messing with your life. Try a pair of 285mm discs for about �500 with 4-pot callipers. If you�re not bothered about money, then go for AP 325mm race spec four-pot kit. How much? Well, �1400� nice though.
