    Default my springs have arrived, but...

    as some of you may have read, i ordered some eibach lowering springs for my stilo from the lovely, helpful people at gazella racing (cough... Bollocks). Well today they've arrived, yey i think as i get the phone call telling me that their here, but then my dad tells me on the invoice it reads 'lowering springs for fiat stilio diesel', now please, please, please can someone tell me that these springs will fit the abarth too?? I really can'not be doing with dealing with the dicks at gazella again!

    yeah the jtd 115 and the abarth have the same suspension ;)

    i didnt have any problems with em, took a while but as i said, the order them direct from manufacturer except for the popular models ;)

    lol well i bellied the car ALLLLL over a strip of pavement the other day. didnt see it at all, it thudded as it hit the bottom of the sills, and scraped all the way till i went over it. got underneath the car and can see no damage or oil leaks, but she is either running a bit rough now, or vibrating a bit more (maybe damaged an engine mount?).

    oh and greg, my estella is lowered 40mm, although coz shes on 18's, it doesnt seem that low

    This is why I chose NOT to lower my 5dr ..I already scraped the front spoiler when I went over very high objects on the road ..and this is why my panda will stay at standard height as well ..

    Mine was a gentle drop compared to some (-30mm) and it's a whole lot better for it - doesn't cause many hassles and is better over speed bumps/dead animals/politicians than before ;D
