Hello.
Does anybody know if Sporting 1.6 8v mk1 puntos are lowered anymore than other puntos as standard?
Also are the shocks different or stronger?
Would it be best to use my :( wrote off :( sporting 1.6 shocks with my new springs on my new punto?

Thanks Guys.
 
Cheers Cinque.

I ment, are the shocks stronger? I have ordered new springs for my car jsut wanted to know if the shocks on the 1.6 would be better for the ride and last longer with a lowered car.

Thanks again.
 
I just read your sig and I take it you are ordering a 60mm drop spring...if so your standard shocks will wear quicker.

I bought a whole new set when doing mine and I was only going 35mm lower than sporting standard.
 
Hello again missey... long time :p

Yeah the sporting standard is -20mm lower than my standard tho as i learnt from Cinque. as my cars not a sporting, my other car is, but thats a write off. Sporting shocks are stronger than others and these are only 2 months old i think. or so im told by the prev owner. no leaking or anything like that.

Im hoping they will take the 60mm lowering springs.

I think ill have them on standards til payday and ill get uprated ones if anything goes wrong for comfort reasons.

Im hoping they stay strong and cost me no more.

Thanks everyone.
 
lol is ok I know what ya ment...it's the rest of the filthy minds round here :rolleyes: lol :D

and yeah, the punts are good...but bit filthy and in need of some TLC .. but weather is too flippin horrible to be nice to cars atm :)

Haha, I know, mines really dirty at the moment but whats the point in cleaning it when im gonna go to work and get coated again anyway.

What alloys have u got on the puntos Missey?

Wanna swap for some Genuine 14" Sporting Alloys?
haha...
 
lol tis ok...I've got a set in the garage...

I got bk racers on the elx and Team Dynamics 1.2 pro-race on the other...both 15's

Got a kerb on the black ones tho from the other day...skidded to avoid a stupid old woman and had to ditch the sporting into the kerb to avoid her (n)
