![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting OK, new shoes fitted to the 13's (XR611's) - feels a lot better and seeing as they old ones were practically bald it wasn't before time! Quite a lot of banging and knocking which I think clock34 (happy birthday to him, btw!) identified as being worn bushes. Going to go with Strongflex as I said earlier but think it'll need to wait until next month now, would like to change the suspension as well and wanted a KW 30-40mm kit but they seem to be hella expensive, anyone know anywhere that I can get it at a reasonable price ... like, under £200, or recommend anything for that kind of price? Cheers!

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting I've not tried the kits myself but the FK kits seems cheap and quite a few people using them on here that i've read. You could just get the springs for now and save for some shocks. I can't stress enough the advantage of adjustable shocks despite the extra expense. My sei rides bumps etc almost like a standard sei with the shocks on a soft setting, great for everyday.. Stiffen them up a bit and it feels more tarmac warrior. |

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting Thanks blu, something like this? http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap...fk99fi001.html I'd rather get the full lot 'cos tbh I'm lazy and don't want to be taking the whole setup apart twice to fit springs and then dampers later. ![]()

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting that maybe true but he had already said i could have it, its only because you bought so much when he stuffed the car that he asked if i minded him giving it to you. |

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting Strongflex bushes arrived the other day, anyone who has me on facebook will be aware of the fun I had using cheap hub pullers to change the bushes ![]() Only done the front for now, needed new wishbones as the ball joints were shot so a lot easier to do off the car. FK suspension kit was ordered from Deutschland on the 2nd and is arriving here tomorrow (60/40 kit). Just need to set myself a long weekend aside and hope the weather stays dry ![]()

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting Well I made a start and managed to shear both lower bolts holding the rear shocks to the trailing arms, so new bolts ordered from Fluffy. A quick shot before doing any work: ![]() And a comparison of the old and new rear shocks, the passenger side one would compress but wouldn't expand again so think it had had it a while ago. ![]() To be continued ...

![]() | Re: '00 Seicento Sporting Everything keeps breaking! Busted one of the rear hub bearings by trying to push it on at a slight angle, all of the nuts holding the ARB brackets on have snapped and the lower strut bolts are rusted to the struts, grrrr...
