General Aftermarket parking sensors and lowering springs advise

[1.8Stilo]

Ok so we've had our bravo for 3-4 months now and I have sorted most niggles out I've found with it.

The car has many options, but it hasn't got parking sensors :-(

I don't find it a problem when parking but the wife is use to her parking sensors. Can anyone recommend any aftermarket parking sensors they've installed? Ive been looking at the systems you fit around/near the number plate - but just ain't sure if they're any good.


The car is a 1.4 Tjet sport and has the 18" wheels. Now I'm also looking at uprated shocks and springs. Are the sport springs lowered, if so by what? As I don't want to go too low and think Eibach pro kit -30mm would be alright, do these have any rubbing/catching problems? Anyone with them on, pictures would be great

Cheers guys

I have these installed on my bravo and work brilliantly.

Very easy to install if you remove the rear bumper (not necessary)
take the left headlamp out and feed all the wiring threw the black grommet.

Which one is suitable for the "maranello red" Bravo? The "vermillion red" or "maroon"?

I ordered vermillion red which did not match the paint on the car, maroon will be to dark. There was no option for maranello red.
Light maroon may work if not they can be re painted to the right colour.

Thanks for the link, used CISBO before and they were ok.. But thinking of going for the META sensors.

No one got the Eibach pro kit springs with 18's?

I have the Eibach kit with 17inch rims. Can't recommend then enough! No rubbing at all so I can't see 18 inch rims being a problem

I dropped mines 70/50 on 18x8.5 and was only just catching. 30 will be fine.
