Technical Lowering Sedicivalvole

[Hellcat]

I havn't taken a knife to it yet..

I already have a Bilstein Streetline kit fitted to my 1.9TDSX. Not wanting it to go to waste when I scrap it but would 45mm be a bit of an extreme drop for a Sedicivalvole?

I have read they are built lowered however the springs are not progressivly wound. Could I get springs that lower the Sedici less and fit them with the Bilstein shocks, or will the shocks only work with the supplied springs?

Your advice and opinions please.

Well In my experience getting Shocks to match the springs is the only way as I had my original shocks decompress completly when I installed the Eibach with only a 35mm drop.

The Sedichi' are built lower, they hang a lot lower then normal Tipo's thats for sure.

Koni do a Full Kit but I think the lowest you can go is 40mm unless you invest in Adjustable Coilovers which for a Tipo may cost you nearing a 'G'

If you found a 45mm or > drop kit for a Tipo, I beg fill me in as to where you obtained it?

I got mine from www.powerfiat.com

This was marked as for use on a 1.9td/2.0 petrol

Looks like they have been discontinued Never mind I'm happy with my set up

I saw a White 3 door 2.0 Tipo on my travels in Near Latimer Road, but got no flyers to flyer it :bang: The wheels were rested in the wheel arches so nicely.

If you are going to lower your Tipo some more then go for it but I don't know if the depth you see is because of lowered springs or a different suspension set up but I have a feeling it is the latter.
