A little less if you only run on the street. Coupé Fiat 20V Turbo Plus 1999, T19 Mitsubishi turbo https://youtu.be/O9qrLj3Ap00 Now FCP Stage3!

But I would say they were near the end of the list of suspension/brake upgrades of ; Good tyres Upgraded discs and pads Braces (upper and lower) Quality dampers Joes Springs Camber bolts Upgraded rear bushes. Hope that helps.

My car came with Eibach so I changed dampers, rear arb (22mm), wishbones, droplinks and camber bolts in 2007. I don't think it is the last thing to do. If you go to track you really need more negative camber. Coupé Fiat 20V Turbo Plus 1999, T19 Mitsubishi turbo https://youtu.be/O9qrLj3Ap00 Now FCP Stage3!

Maybe only downside is that a consequence is that the rear becomes looser and more likely to oversteer, but only in extreme cornering. Definitely worth doing. Andy

What camber does the standard setup have?
