Hello guys, I am new here.

I own a 1.2l 2014 Fiat 500s. I am new to modifying and tuning cars. I am looking to acquiring a set of coilovers to help lower my car.

I have been scrolling the internet for awhile and have found that the name Bilstein B14 kit has been mentioned a fair bit. I am looking for a kit specifically for a fiat 500s. Not the abarth model.

I was wondering if you guys could help. Thanks
 
Are you talking about the suspension kit found on the stock abarth or a aftermarket kit designed for the abarth which would also fit the fiat?

I was wondering if anyone on here had ever attempted to change the suspension one fiat 500 to coilovers and how successful were they.
 
The kit is made to fit. You shouldn’t run into any problems,. You’ll probably need camber bolts and have the tracking redone
 
Is this to allow the chamber to be adjusted? What else would I require to buy on top of the kit itself? Also would I be better off getting a specialist/garage to do the install?
 
Places similar to demontweaks will supply fit and track,. You’ll struggle to find a garage to track it low.. well one with decent equipment.. places like Halfords, kwikfit wont touch it lowered
 
I was thinking since really all I want to do is lower my car. Would I be better off going for lowering springs over coil overs. Coil overs dont seem to be any cheaper than £500 and I'm an apprentice so any chance I can get to save money is appreciated.
 
Depends how low you want, and if you want/need adjustability. I got 30mm drop on springs and its fine. Car sits nearly how I want, drives a bit nicer (generally!) and didn't break the bank.
 
I am looking for roughly a 30-40mm drop on both ends. I was wondering what brand of springs did you use? And if you fitted these yourself?
 
Hi.
If you do have any issues with insurance for modifications then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.
