ive been looking on ebay at lowering springs for seicento, its a t reg sporting, i want to lower it 60mm but all the 60mm kits say not for sporting and the sporting kits are only 30mm.

why dont they dont a 60mm kit for the sporting.

A 60mm non-Sporting kit should lower a Sporting by 40mm.

Cinquecento kits will fit too.

A 60mm SX kit lowers a Sporting by less as the Sporting already sits lower.

Cinquecentos and Seicentos are mechanically the same car.

the only options if you wana drop it 60mm are the 60mm spax psx kit or kw coilovers, both sets are more expensive than the fixed rate but the coilovers will cost you £700 so the spax adjusables are your best bet. cobra do a 50mm spring set and i think a 60mm but it dosnt come as a kit wth the shox so itll cost you in the same region as the spax.

im doin this to mine, have searched everywere and they are your only options mate.

try looking at http://www.europerformance.co.uk, and demon tweaks for the spax
