Recently found out I had a broken front spring on my T-Jet and the intention was to fit Abarth OE springs until I priced them. Found a set of Kilen Sport Springs that offered 30mm drop over standard GP ride height so 20mm drop on a T-Jet.
Had them on for a couple of weeks now and have to say I'm fairly impressed. Much reduced body roll and tighter without being overly harsh.

Fitted with new mounts and Bilstein B4 all round, (and wishbones, track rod ends, drop links) settled to a good height which is about 10mm down on my original equipment that had 59000 on it. I'd recommend the set up to anyone wanting a refresh on their T-Jet.

I'll get some pics over the next week.

Cheers

I'd be interested to see pictures.

How much were the springs?

I'm inheriting a 1.2 Grande Punto shortly and am unsure where to go buy lowering springs or just use the Vauxhall springs that came off my Corsa (for a "free" mild lowering).

The GP sits very high for my liking...
 
I'll get some pics up tomorrow if I'm back in time to give it a wash.
The shocks and springs along with Forge braces have transformed the handling.

May even get a members motors thread going as I've done a fair bit since I bought it.

Cheers
 
Pics are post lowering, springs were about £115 delivered I think.


Cheers
