Hooray! First Fiat 850 post!
To get things started, I would like to know how to safely lower the front suspension of my 850 coupe by 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Looking at the front end, it looks like the car could be lowered by reversing the main leaf of the front spring so that the eyes at the end of the spring are higher, thus raising the stub axle (and lowering the car). It looks like this would lower the car by 3-4 cm, which is probably enough. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Or does anyone know of a reason not to do this - does it cause alignment problems, am I risking damaging something?
