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.
