Technical How Low Do You Go....

[Fiat Silo 1.4 16v 3 Door]

Hey everyone

I have a 05 Stilo 3 door 1.4 16v

I am thinking about lowering my car but have been put off by people saying dont bother...

Still i want to do it... but i cant seem to get hold of any lowering springs for the 1.4 stilo!!

All the springs i see say 1.2 1.6 1.8 so will these springs fit? or do i have to find some that state 1.4

Any links or answers / comment would be great

Thank Fletch

Most people go 30/35mm, others have gone 100mm (where you at now Jon?)

wiht some nice alloys, 35mm looks great!

Your dampeners wont last long if you just do the springs and the ride tends to take an adverse effect.

Not only that - but mismatched dampers will give an instant degradation in handling on any bumpy surface.

Eibach -30mm are the safest bet if not changing dampers.

eibach sportline 40-50mm for 1.4 (i paid £150, sold them for £100)
eibach proline 30mm for 1.4

i now have fk silverline adjustable coilovers, they go from 20mm down to 110mm. they were £570 iirc. from rimstyle. hower you cant get them on there anymore, all they do is wheels
