Thanks for that - and for bringing a much-needed note of sanity to the thread - I'd finally come up with that Koni ref no for 1.1, 1.2 and MJ non-4x4s - but hadn't realised they're non-adjustable - as I can't imagine the minimum length of the damper (ie on maximum suspension compression) is less for the 100HP than other Pandae they shouldn't do themselves a mischief but the very different spring rates mean that adjustability is essential. Didn't understand how rear dampers could lower the car - and fitting rears only would make it look a bit odd if they did - but I gather that was an aberration. I'm not looking for any lowering - apart from anything else, in Italy we have to drive up a couple of kilometres of white road, where the Cinquecento Sporting occasionally grounded, so lowering is not a practical option. There's also a Bilstein number - 3117, but they're B4s, which I gather are also non-adjustable. Drawn a blank so far looking on Italian sites.

I wouldn't be too bothered about the Bilstein's being non-adjustable. Firstly you'll probably put them on and be happy and never fiddle with them and secondly Bilstein will probably have chosen a good setting to start with anyway. My Fiat 131 had Bilstein's (not sure which ones but I doubt they were adjustable) and was excellent and my mum's Saab 900 has B4's on them and handles and rides well. A lot of people complain about Italian cars being underdamped and Bilstein's are a common upgrade and most people seem very happy with them.

Apologies for you having to wade through all this crap, there are a lot of people on here who like nothing better to win an argument rather than just respecting people's opinions and helping people who have questions.

Seriously are you just here to argue? If you've got nothing to add in terms of suspension then please do leave us alone. I've done my best to help the OP but you're just annoying and causing arguments and more of a troll than anyone else on this thread....

I'm not arguing...Just pointing out that we've been here before....(y)
 
looks like a pretty good example of "not accepting" my experiences and opinions:rolleyes:

I thought that was a pretty fair comment. Cannot see anything wrong with that, unless we are not allowed to think for ourselves?

Are people really stupid enough to accept what others say without any question? Or is it just on here?
 
i didn't say they were 'better than...' or for the track:rolleyes:
i am sharing 10 years experience on 'centos. bilsteins failed miserably, as did Konis

RSX kit is for fast road, SPAX do a seperate range for track(y)

the standard spring was found to be far too stiff on the 500

Just because Rob has had a good experience with Spax does not mean that they are a better option than bilstein or Koni which I understand he hasn't actually tried. I've actually had both spax and koni. I'd only have koni given the choice.

Rob went on blurting a load of marketing rubbish. That does not make them better. It's like he cut and pasted from their website or something.

You seem to be siding. What a surprise.

And you aren't mine. Seriously why don't you give your trolling a rest?

/I was bored before I even began (points for the song).

Because you aren't even reading the replies - this has already been pointed out to you in this thread.
 
This thread is a joke. Anyone who wants to have a discussion on suspension feel free to PM me, if you want to have a childish argument then use this thread.

you really are 'hard of thinking' aren't you...

congratulations - you just got added to my 'ignore' list, bye!

Okay I realise that i'm not in the clique, not like i'd ever want to be. I must be wrong then because i've offered an opinion that didn't fit in with the clique.

Thanks for adding me to your ignore list, I didn't realise that people still did that kind of thing.
