General Greetings from Poland and few questions :]

[urwis]

Hi guys. I'm from Poland.. country where seicento/cinquecento are usually build in German style
I'm not saying that it's wrong, but little 13" wheels can't shift 211Nm on the tarmac So I bought momo/novitec 15" wheels.. and now I have questions for you:
What suspension will you suggest? I'm thinking on full novitec suspension http://shophost.net/shop_n/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_18&products_id=791
or FK adjustable suspension http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FK-Highsport-Gewindefahrwerk-fuer-Fiat-Cinquecento_W0QQitemZ150095304700QQihZ005QQcategoryZ70151QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
Secondly I'm wandering what tire in size 195/45/15 is the best.
You guys are famous from putting too big wheels in small cars so that's why I'm asking :worship:

Cheers!

You mean they'll invade Czechoslovakia ?

No idea what 211Nm is in lbs/ft, but what I intend for my turbo Cinq is 195/45/15.

I've always thought that novitec stuff was over-priced. Currently the Cinq is on 14" wheels and Eibach springs and Monroe gas shocks. I think they'll be just fine for the 15" wheels.

Who knows.. I won't because I can't travel in time

If my data is correct, then 211 Nm is 156 lbs/ft. But I'm not sure.

how much lower are the eibach springs?

 

[fingers99]

how much lower are the eibach springs?

Approx 30mm.

156 lb/ft? Sounds like another turbo Cinq!

 

[urwis]

Approx 30mm.

I like it to be approx -50mm. My friend had 195/45/15 with oryginal suspension and it was cutting the tires, so monroe with lowered springs will probably cut them even worse

1.1T :devil:

a 50mm drop on 15'' will require archwork more than likely

Where were they touching? The 14s with 195/45/14 don't touch at all on the turbo car, and I don't think the 15s will. I'm currently running 185/55/14s on my everyday Sei, and they don't rub.

I think lowered 50mm is too much without a lot of work. I'd not run that low on an English road, let alone a Polish one.

I don't know where but friend said that with 3 people on board or when he was taking fast corners, tires were scrubbing something. But it was on original mega soft dumpers.
Novitec kit is made for riding with novitec wheels, so if it is -50mm you shouldn't have doubts :]
seiBi was riding the same set.. novitec wheels with 195/45/15 BFGoodrich tires and novitec suspension kit.
There shouldn't be a problem then.

 

[fingers99]

I think it's about offset. Until I got the spacers on the Sei right it rubbed with fat people in the back over speed humps or when cornering hard at relatively low speeds.

But ,sure, going all Novitec will probably work fine (at the expense of your pocket). There's no magic there, though, just a question of getting everything right.

Finally I've decided to put Bilstein B8 Adjustable and Yokohama S-Drive tires When everything will be on sei I'll show you a foto
