Mine. Pretty much standard 3.2GT V6, just an exhaust and short shifter kit so far in over a year. I need to get a move on..















My Old 1998 156 2.5V6 from 10 years back, again standard on the lusso 'sofa' suspension. Great engine and sense of occasion but didn't like bends on that suspension.

My 156 is very similar to yours there even down to the alloys which I bought last night on Ebay. Had 17" wheels before and the ride was unbearably crashy. Now it has 15" and some rainsports so is much better. I have GTa springs which probably doesn't help.
To improve cornering I've found fitting a strut brace works. I got a GTa anti roll bar with poly bushes too but it's a pig to fit apparently. I didn't have to do it luckily but am reaping the rewards. Lift off oversteer is easy in the right conditions...

Looks awesome. Lowered or stock ride height?

My 156 2.4JTD SW just clicked past 140K.






Suspension & interior creaks are driving me nuts, but I do love the old girl. Especially the engine!

I got 4 period Cibie Super Oscars from a mate. Tried 2 at first but it didn't look right, so added the bottom 2.

I can now light up our whole village without leaving the garden. smile

No problems with plate visability? The lights seem to cover your plate.

Previous owner of mine appears to have spent some time and money updating the silver interior elements to carbon.

I like it!

Interesting to see that - super rare! 1 registered and 7 SORN apparently.
