Hi guys.

I would like to raise my Stilo Abarth like on this picture.

I won't be riding Corsica but much worse!

Can I do it just with coilover and what to look for when buying?

Best regards.
 
Sorry, here's link.

Funny how little tuning salespeople know about raising a car. "You want to lower your car, no problem! Raise it... why boy? Didn't you watch Fast 'n' Furious!?"

Regards
 
Sorry for spaces i'm not allowed to post any URL. I guess newbie antispam measure.

But i'm not a newbie i'm just a quiet observer :rolleyes:
 
Yes that's the picture.

I see it has a coilover. But I can't figure out how much does the fully threaded coilover unwind so you can gain height and what happens to the brake lines and other stuff. And that's just for front suspension.

I did ask on rally forum and they pointed me to offroad forum. Bunch of amateur sofa rally wannabes.

If I buy coilover kit 30-75mm and unwind them the other way is there enough thread to do that.
 
Unless you do it proper 4x4 off road style I don't think it will look right. Your biggest problem is going to be the non independant rear suspention. It won't raise that high up I don't think. Even if it did have endless swing surely the seating position would move too far.
