new springs today =] i orderd some really stiff ones so the back isnt so bouncy haha
Where from? I need some!
Are they the 'proper' lowering springs for the Panda?
I have them.......they arne't really that stiff. I'm looking for another set maybe another 50% harder. Was gonna head to the breakers yesterday see what cars have similar size coils.
What wheels has it got out of interest? Not standard Panda are they?

I think they're Vauxhall wheels Jon, but I'm sure scotty will confirm.
They fill the arches very well and look brilliant. Do the tyres catch the inside of the arch? Or have you cut it out / rolled it?
I love this car!!!! I want my panda to look exactly like yours (ride height, wheel fill etc) when its got the turbo engine in it.
I wonder what it would handle like with these wheels and some low(ish) profile tyres.
Then for the suspension you have lowered springs, cut down to 4 coils, and escort van bump stops. Are the bump stops in the same holes at the original ones?
Do the wheels catch the body though when you hit a big bump/put weight in the back? Or does it hit the bump stop first?
This sunday I may do a few things to the trusty Panda whilst the engine is out.
Think i'll measure the current gap between the tyre and the wheel arch, then get a spacer the same distance so the wheels fill the arch nicley.
Also I'll cut the springs down considering they are pretty crap anyway. Can probably keep the original bump stops as i bought them new and they are still in good condition.
You had a chance to look at adding camber to the Panda wheels yet?
Seriously, I've been looking for that 'Rust! Save weight, save money' (or whatever it says) sticker for practically my entire life.
Where can you get one!?!?!?!?!
