Have a play with tyre pressures to see what suits you best. Fiat recommend 32 psi all round but you could try lowering the rears to take some understeer away. With the suspension mods I've made to my car I run 32 front and 28 rear, handles well and makes the ride a bit better.

The sportings are about 20mm lower than the s / sx.

arrr right cheers

do most people lower then a little more like 40mm etc is it an easy job and does it have any benefits?

Also i was lookin at my tires and talkin to a chap

i have the standard sporting tires 165 55 10 i was wondering keeping the 13'' sporting alloys would i be able to fit 175 50or55 13's on them??

cheers

Mine's dropped 40mm, and yup - the tyres go straight on, I've got a set of BF Goodrich 175/50 13's on mine - haven't gone for 14's or 15's as I don't want to lose acceleration. There's a pic of the tyres on my site linked below.

The BFG's were £175 fitted for 4 if that's any help to you, springs were £80

Fiat recomend 30psi all round for normal loads, 32psi for heavy loads.
