well, here goes.

The front to rear spring rates seam much more evenly matched, no pitching as there was beofer, especially good on "washboard" surfaces.

Over speed bumps there is no "pogoing" on the back end as there was before either.

The whole thing feels better matched to the character of the car. not overly stiff & the cornering is vastly improved with better turn in, and no understeer on corner exit.

Down the favorite country lane last night the speeds were high enough to get brake fade, which I'd never encountered before on the 500.

Was going to do a fitting guide, but I broke the camera last night

It makes a big difference especially in the rear! Looks great! Did you fit them yourself? Was it a difficult job?

It was very easy, I'd say if I was doing it again it wouls take about 1.25 hours. Took 2hours first time, but that was with tea breaks too.

For the rear I never even had to remove the rear wheels.!!!

Well that was very fast! But if I remember this right you might have done some work on / with cars before... Were there some special tools required?

Yep, used to engineer F1 cars, and do a little racing.

All you need is.......

13, 15, 17m 19 & 27mm sockets.
Jack & axle stands
Spring compressors
Impack wrench (optional)
wheel chock

Well, that might come in handy here...lol

Which team(s)? Or are you not allowed to discuss this? I´m a huge F1 fan myself!

Williams F1 - 1998-2005

Back then Williams was still a winning team. Maybe you should go back so that Nico Rosberg could have a chance of winning some races too!:D

They are 16"s, but I think they look just right, may get a rear spoiler though.

[5OO]

I was going to say lowered too. It was a little tricky with the different lighting. But It looks like a clean drop. Next step brakes. Lol:icon_thumright:

Edit.......

Now got a bargain genuine Fiat rear spoiler from EBAY!!!!!

Your wheels loks just fine:icon_thumleft: I only tought they looked a bit small after the lowering, so I wasen`t sure what size they were:)

Congratulation with the spoiler! Is it an 500 sport spoiler?
