Thanks very much for the nice technical post! You are talking my language.
How is the handling on the Abarth springs? With 15mm F and 12mm R (for a front weight bias), do you feel there is understeer, especially without the rear Abarth bar?
Was surfing your posts. Your ride height looks PERFECT.
Not sure if I will do suspension mods (initially ) as I haven't decided between lease or buy. Good to know the Abarth 7" wide wheels and 205/40R17 will fit no problem. I wanna shoehorn 225s on there Not sure if there's space. I'm pretty anal that it really fits and doesn't stick out or rub. Was looking at aftermarket wheels, and here's my collection of "big" wheels for a normal 500:
8" ET 25
8" ET 20
7.5" ET 35
7.5" ET 30
7.5" ET 30
7.5" ET 30
7.5" ET 30
7.5" ET 20
7.5" ET 15
Those never say what the tire sizes are, though. Biggest I've seen documented is a 215/35R17 on a BBS 17x7.5" ET 30. Seems reasonable as there is not much inboard clearance. I think somebody was getting some rubbing on 215s.
