Hi all,

Just been reading through all the threads on the Eibachs. Looking to get mine done soon. Was going to orginally just go with the 30mm Pro kit and the Eibach pro shocks however have been reading all the good things about the extra drop from the Sportlines.

I have noticed that a few of you have mentioned issues about using the sportlines on the Abarth due to the extra weight? Would this be an issue on the JTD's? Has anyone got the sportlines fitted on a JTD?

Thanks, Andrew

Also has anyone tried the Powerflex suspensions bushes?

I didn't think Powerflex bushes were availible for the Stilo?

Have a word with Jorden [A&R Jorden] for the bushes he is talking about making them for the stilo if he has enough response from people and interest

Cheers guys. Had found some sites just advertising them for Fiats but not in particular the Stilo so you're probably right.

Any opinions on the springs? Think I'll probably end up going with just the 30mm drop, looked at some of the other members pics and 30mm seems low enough.

I went for -30mm Eibachs and I think its about right for the Stilo.

Ive dropped mine 35mm and it also looks fine......as you'll see from the link above I couldnt be bothered to wait 2-3 weeks for Eibachs or pay nearly £150 so went for PI and they are fine, no big deterioration of ride, but have given the car a beter stance and a more planted feel.

Wish I'd gone for Pi or Eibach now, I wouldn't have had the trouble I had with the Konis.

So what's the upshot on your Konis now then Chris?

Must be a good few weeks now since you had this issue. Has the front dropped any lower yet?

They've settled quite a lot, and it's definately lower than on standards, but still not as low as the rear.

I had the Boge Turbo shocks fitted today, so the suspension's still not settled yet. I'll give it a good thrash tomorrow and see how it is afterwards. Already ragged it a bit, first impressions of the Boges are VERY good indeed. They're much firmer, but somehow this hasn't adversely affected the ride. It's actually BETTER!

i have the 1.8 and have fitted the sportline springs -50mm drop and they are fine. The ride is a little firm and im planing on upgrading the shocks next to some blistein dampers.

Thanks for the replies guys. Think I'll go with the Pro kit and shocks then. Should hopefully be a vast improvement over the currently rolly polly
