Ok.. ive had my Stilo about 2 and a half months and have already done 6500 miles!

Overall i am happy with the car but i find the suspension a let down to be honest. Its far to high, has too much dive under braking and too much body roll, but yet feels harsh over some surfaces? I also plan on getting a remap but this is far more important than more power

The car has only done 47000 miles and no leaks from dampers etc.

What options do i have for suspension upgrades?, there does not seem much listed for my model?

Thanks Chris

Ive had eibach pro kit (-25mm -30mm approx)springs on original dampers for a few years, no complaints and wouldn't want to go lower.
Here is an old thread with pic in, on page 1 I measured from floor to sill to compare. It's probably settled more since then.

Your link does not work?

Thanks

Ok sorted link.

have a look at the DTS coil over kit on german ebay. I have it on mine and a couple of others have them. Your car uses the same kit as the abarth.

Good quality kit similar to the AP kit. Not too harsh either. Also consider the ultra bracing upper and lower strut bars.

Seen that lower brace for £115 is it worth it? Already have an upper brace.

yep, the lower brace finishes it all off. Turn in is improved and the car feels more responsive to steering input

That actually looks a nice sensible amount!

I would like coilovers but have doughts how they perform over the rougher surfaces

The kit on mine is very compliant even on 35 profile 18" tyres. Whereabouts in the uk are you?

If you are fairly near to me you are welcome to have a go. Couple of other guys run dts coils too. Think they were about 360 notes.

Thing I find is that you do feel bumps more but they don't upset the balance of the car anywhere near as much. The benefits far outweigh the harsher ride.
