I heard a rumour that Lowering springs were an option from fiat for the coupe? I have all the manuals at home but am at work at the moment and was wondering if anyone could confirm this

Thanks

Mario

It's purely a rumour Mario

damn

Seriously quick reply tho! Thanks Joe

No it isn't, they are listed in the 16v/16vt options folder I've got at home

Jurgen is right
There was an option stiffer springs and/or ARB made by eibach

Nice, i have eibach springs on mine and im currently doing my insurance valuation and i was sure that fiat offered them as an option

Any chance of scanning in that page for me?

Yup its been confirmed they were a fiat option. I will post up the image from the brochure later today

Yes please do Mario, its always nice to learn something new about these cars

Shame it doesn't show anything in the technical data sheets.

will get them over to you joe no problem

The springs (eibach 16vt version) were listed in the optional accessory brochure along with items like the Zender body kit and alloy extras for the handbrake, gear knob, etc.

It was just a 2 page brochure if I remember correctly.

Aye they were an option indeed.

It was me that told you Mario you buffoon. My word not good enough for you huh....

I think Mario means an option that you could specify at purchase, same as A/C, leather, sunroof, colour, turbo (not much else though). Having it in an accessories catalogue doesn't make it a "factory fit option" At a stretch you could say that a Sparco strut brace and drilled front brake discs were an "option" (since you could go and buy an LE) but not the springs, sorry

It was indeed that option, same as a Zender kit etc

So insurance wise, if i add an le or zender kit, will my policy go up?
Or could i say it was still standard

this was only mentioned just recently in a different thread, I think one of our european friends posted up a small image of the springs from a catalogue!

I too was wondering if you could use that for the insurance.

There is one more interesting image on this picture ....
take a look on azev wheel this one in blue coupe .. what you see?

I can't believe I missed that!!! Mario will be well chuffed

What are we looking at?

some little creature on wheel ... ;-)

TAKE IT BACK! Take it all back!
