The Peugeot Escapade has raised suspension compared to a Citroen Berlingo (+30mm). Before I knew about Autodoc I used Eurocarparts and unbeknownst to me fitted Berlingo springs to my Escapade (I bought knowing it had a snapped spring).
The front has always been too low compared to the rear and the suspension droops a lot when jacked up on axle stands indicating it was sat too far into its travel with the shorter springs.
Nowadays I use Autodoc so I've been able to figure which springs should be fitted. For anyone else with an Escapade for reference the springs are Quinton Hazell QCS7207 and are 463mm long. Other brands are available at this length for a Partner but QH had the most information so I went with them.
The spring is ~60mm longer than the standard Berlingo spring I removed and gives ~30mm extra ride height as its supposed to have.
