    Next Mod: Springs

    Hi all — I have a 2016 500t and am interested in further upgrading the suspension. I’ve already installed an ST rear anti sway bar and I just ordered El Gato chassis braces. I recently replaced all four stock Pirelli tires so I won’t be upgrading tires until these wear out. My next step is to lower the car slightly, more for improved handling than looks. Reading through the forums, I’ve come up with a list and I’m shamelessly looking for reassurance on my anticipated set up to achieve improved handling for occasional mountain road drives while maintaining a decent daily commuter ride. Thoughts?

      I had sportlines on my Abarth. For my new TurboC I’m thinking Neuf or H&Rs. The sportlines were really low in the front.

          Update: Ordered Vogtland lowering springs (instead of Eibach/Neu-F), brand new rear Konis, and replacement strut top mounts. All of this is in addition to the Abarth rims/tires that I recently picked up to replace my stock Turbo 16s and front Abarth struts, I think my 500t is in for a pretty big transformation. Anyone running the same or similar set up?

              Update: Ultimately went with madness springs, new rear Koni’s, Abarth front struts (from a forum member), new shock top mounts, and Abarth 17inch wheels/tires (from another forum member). This is in addition to the ST anti-rear sway bar and El Gato front chassis braces. Work done by M-Spec in Middle Village, NY.
