2 inches lower than the base 500? Or 2 inches lower than the stock Abarth?

If the latter, damn

Base. The Abarth is only .5-.75 inches lower. This set up will only lower the Abarth 1.5 inches.

I can't go lower in the rear even with coilovers. You can pretty much set the front on the ground.

I have no plans to do that. My car actually ride pretty smoothly and isn't bad at all. I commute in it.

Here's a shot next to other 500s...




What's funny is that at the 500 meets our local dealer has every now and again, people all pay attention to my car...and little attention to the actual Abarths there.

Totally different frames? The magazines always said that they all shared the K-car platform. Omni, Charger, Daytona, Lancer, Shadow, etc.

The L bodies: omni, charger, rampage, horizon, scamp, turismo, glh, and glhs were simca based and shared nothing other than drivetrains with their larger EEK based brethren
