Cobra Evo Coilovers For The Fiat 500

The new generation Fiat 500 has been winning as many fans this time round as its elder brother did in the very beginning. The addictive combination of cute retro styling, fizz-bomb engines and cheeky handling make the Fiat a real hoot to drive.

For those enthusiasts looking for precision handling and adjustability from the car, Cobra Suspension may just have the answer. Their beautifully constructed Evo Stainless Steel Coilover kits for the funky 500 are suitable for the 1.2, 1.4 and 1.3D versions and offer the driver adjustable lowering up to 60mm from factory ride height. This also allows track-day enthusiasts the ability to accurately corner-weight the car for ultimate poise.

The units utilise twin-tube gas dampers which eliminate the fade and ‘frothing’ which can often occur with oil-based dampers, couple with chrome silicon racing springs and precision polyurethane bushes to endow the baby Fiat with true Go-Kart like responses.

The units come with full TUV approval, a class leading 2 year warranty and are priced at £824.25 + VAT.
