Title: My mew suspension
Post by: joan131 on August 29, 2013, 12:08:13 PM
My new suspension.
Hi, after a few months of hard work, and I have my new rear suspension ready to ride.
It is a copy of the brackets and arms abarth check for me, with a spread bmw.
What you think?

So far the performance is good, I have assembled a group 4.44, with 25% locking.
You do not hear any strange noise, the car is fully lined, and I can vary the toe and convergence to my liking.
The only problem that I have, are the springs, which are too hard, I'm waiting for a manufacturer that I will make them as for this type of suspension.

Very nice. All those parts laid out on the ground should be your advertising photo for a kit that you're planning to market to forum members. ;D

Hello, I'm working with the springs of the rear suspension, especially with the height of the car, since hardness think that I've found good point.
I think the current height of the car is a little low, I looked different abarth 131 photos and there anyway, high, low, normal ...
Leave a picture here to give me opinions, thanks.

Too low. For my liking anyway. As far as i can see you have used the shock absorbers from Ritmo/Strada. What springs are you using? The Original 131 springs should be sufficient, but then you'd have to remove the Original spring seat. Differs about 18 cm's, as far as i can recall.
