It would appear that Abarth have modified the rear springs on the Competizione and rubberised the bits that are close together to stop knocking noises.


So John can we get this done to our cars? Will other dealers know about it. And does this mean the talk of revised koni rears is wrong.

    1, Don't know yet.
    2, Depends if they've been bothered to look.
    3, It seems likely although there does appear there was a fault with the koni's and the springs made it worse.

    I'm sure  the answer to 1 will be if you pay for new springs and fitting knock yourself out  ;D

    Like the subliminal message of the woman in the 500c Turismo although like all good Lady Abarthisti she looks cool and kicks ass behind the wheel ;)

    PS video makers, if there is a Monza there is no need for music  :thumb:

    Now that I'm a grown up I drive a sensible grey 595 Competizione with grey leather sabelt seats and yellow brake calipers. It's jolly nice! It's got a name - ' Razzogrigio' Now with a custom S/S group N style exhaust, black Esseesse wheels and a GTT induction kit, all sitting on Eibach springs.
