Introduction
'20 Panda Hybrid Sport
Thank you for your response. I bought a panda because I wanted it for a very long time, in my opinion it is a very well designed car for movement and life in the city. I use it mainly for commuting. Panda replaced my ex-Kia Ceed GT 205hp with which I drove 80,000 kilometers. The panda hybrid is significantly weaker, but for the purpose I need it, it suits me better. When a hybrid battery is charged, the performance seems to be sufficient, after 7,000 kilometers it is really better and quieter than this engine was new. The 1.2 FIRE engine in the Fiat 500, which I also ride, seems to be more explosive, but it has a significantly higher consumption compared to the 1.0 hybrid. My second car for fun is Mazda mx5 supercharged and Cadillac Seville STS. Panda is slave but I love her

Panda Sport lowered.
1600ccm (110bhp) + supercharger EatonM62 = 188bhp/235Nm
Nice.
I will replace springs and add spacers
Not more than 12mm spacers per side.I will replace springs and add spacers
I had 7.0Jx17" ET26 Bravo wheels, with 205/40R17" tires, on my last Panda 85 Lounge, without problems.
Yes, I know, based on your knowledge of the different wheel sizes, I ordered steel wheels. Btw, after watching your treads about the blue and then the silver Panda, I realized that even the Panda can be an attractive car and went to buy a mine Panda

Lowering is a must for a Panda if you want to improve the looks.Yes, I know, based on your knowledge of the different wheel sizes, I ordered steel wheels. Btw, after watching your treads about the blue and then the silver Panda, I realized that even the Panda can be an attractive car

Hellou ThePretender, I have a question. Will 15mm spacers fits with 6.5Jx16 195/45 under fenders? I can order only 10mm or 15mm. Springs already ordered!
Both would fit, based on my 7.0Jx17" ET26 wheel and 205/40R17" tire size.
First picture with 15mm spacer, second picture with 10mm spacer.

Make certain that you also instal short bump stops, you can use standard 500 bumpstops.
Already ordered
15mm spacers per side will fit with 6.5Jx16 et 35 and standard tire 195/45? Or you highly recomend 10mm per side?

Otherwise the offset will be very low, and can put a lot of strain on the axle bearings.
A very big improvement, in every way.
Small update on my "hybrid".
Without any problem last 23k kilometers. H&R springs and H&R spacers did serious job with look and ride stability. Now on winter setup with Bravo steelies and 195/45R16 winter Pirelli. The Great little car
