FIAT 500 Lowering Springs by MADNESS -1.4" Drop - V1

Ready to upgrade the handling of your FIAT 500?

We offer the largest selection of FIAT 500 Springs in the world! This listings if for our MADNESS FIAT 500 Sport Springs that feature a 1.4" Drop. 

 

The MADNESS Lowering Springs were developed as a joint effort between us (MADNESS) and our European Partners that produce some of the best performance spring in the world. Rather then compromise and produce one style of springs to suit everyone we decided to design and manufacturer two different types of springs to specially suit the type of handling and look our fellow 500 owners ask for.

Our MADNESS Edition Performance Springs come in two versions. Version 1 (V1) offers the driver an approximate drop of about 1.4". This gives you the best combination or ride and handling. Version 2 (V2) is designed for someone who is looking for a more aggressive drop. The drop on the V2 set is approximately 2" in the front and 2.5" in the rear. This listing is for the V1 set. Please check our other listings for the V2 set.


This set is for Version 1 (V1) Performance Springs.


We designed the springs to be progressive rate for the best combination of ride and handling. What are progressive rate springs?

Progressive rate springs feature individual coils that are spaced differently and have a spring rate that is variable. Under normal driving conditions the first couple of centimeters compress easily, but as you apply more force (as in high speed cornering) the coils come closer. At a certain point, coil at the top 1/4 of progressive springs begin to touch each other and finally become inactive or dead, and that makes the spring stiffer. Apply more forces to a progressive spring then it becomes stiffer because as the number of active coils in a spring decreases, the spring rate increases. So, progressive springs may both be sensitive to very small bumps on the road, while giving the stiffness you need during hard braking and turning.
