Does any one know if the springs from a series 1 uno turbo are any lower than the ones on a 1988 uno 60? I have a 60 and the springs in it are anoyingly high and the body of the car rolls around horibly when cournering, I'm a poor student so I cant afford to get new springs that are properly low, but I've been offered springs and shocks from a series 1 turbo for **** cheap. any thoughts?

Cheers!

they should fit on mate and it will sit a little lower. prob only about 20mm tho. i'd just save up for a set of proper springs for ur uno

hope this helps

Cheers Dunc,

I recon I'll put them on for the time being, they really are quite cheap, and it'll stop the car from looking so bloody stupid, lol.
I'm saving for a 1600 tipo engine for my uno at the moment, it should move it along fairly quickly

The springs will prob drop it 20mm at the back but only 10mm at the front

The Turbo engine is heavier and the springs have to take a bigger load over the front axle so they make Turbo springs a bit longer to accomodate for this

But if your going to fit a Tipo engine then it will be fine. Does a Tipo engine fit quite easily then? Id hav thought things like engine mounts, radiator, etc wouldnt have been in the right place/would hav to be moved? And would u not hav to install an anti roll bar?

I'm told (by a fiat wrecker, www.fiatparts.co.nz ) that the only differnce is the stroke length, so all the mounts are exactly the same. I'd be quite keen to get hold of a Tipo 1900cc dohc engine, but I'm inclined to think that they'd use different mounts, but you never know . I might have to install an anti-roll bar though, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
