the springs are as far as i know a little shorter (10-15mm) and abit harder and the shocks are slightly different to cope with the slightly lower ride height
either way i know i can throw my sport model around abit and dont have any troubles with it

combined with low profile tyres.... mines harsher than the 120T's i have driven on bumpy roads
Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-JET 150hp in Sport Version (not dynamic/emotion/active with sport pack) has lower springs and different shocks. It is Only different in Petrol, Diesel engines have exactly the same suspension in all versions.
It is all described in elearn.

Thats not entirely true, as the Multijet 150 Sports have lowered springs vs other models in the range. Not sure about the shocks, but the springs are shorter for sure (30mm drop as far as i remember)

Well i've always thought the M-JET sports didn't look at low as T-JET sports...

I'm agreed on that one as when I test drive the bravo (150mjet dynamic) the car was a lot softer and I can go over any speed bumps without any problem, which I cant do in my mjet sport!!!

You could be right as the m-jet has a heavier engine.

The suspension on the petrol Dynamic/Active is quite firm to be honest.
But if your saying its lower because of the engine, it would only be the nose thats lower, and the rear would sit much higher than it does?
Also, with wheels beeing larger and wider on the sport models, both petrol and diesel, on standard suspension the car would sit too high, plus i imagine it would roll more in the bends than it does

No, I'm saying the diesel engine is heavier so it make sense the mjet sit "higher" than the tjet, as they need to consider the extra sprung weights of the mjet.But if your saying its lower because of the engine, it would only be the nose thats lower, and the rear would sit much higher than it does?

Ahh i understand, sorry However, i thought they'd just put stiffer springs at the front or increase the spring rate to cope with the iron lump upfront. Or being fiat, do nothing lol.

True Craig, my mistake - as you say springs are different in emotion 2.0/1.9 dynamic/emotion in comparison to 2.0/1.9 sport - Shocks are the same.
To be precise 1.4 T-Jet sport has both shocks and springs different vs dynamic/active/emotion.
