just ring eibach direct... the were supplied by jabba sport which are a dealer for them! they are the sportline springs, they are 50/45mm drop, they are rather stiff but give a great sports feel, which is what i wanted! Im getting these to go with em too, some eibach pro dampers to wind em down even lower :D http://www.deutscheperformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?id=71767

Edit: they do the sportline kit on here but not fiat 1's, but im sure they could supply it if you contacted them as they supply the pro damper for em. And also do the bilstein goodies!

yeah there just the coilovers if you like? You need to buy either a set of eibach prokit springs or sportline aswell to go with them!

sorry the link dosent work m8, but im sure ive found mine on the website! Matt has the cobra springs which are 50mm/40mm and are easier to get hold of, the only reason i went for the eibach is cause everybody on here recomends them and they are great and because i want to get the eibach coilovers at a later date, which means you can wind the springs down further if i wanted too! The FK coilovers use the cobra spring and you can wind them down to 70mm drop on those coilovers! happy hunting mate!
