Hi Abarth fans, I am currently restoring a 750gt in California. I'm considering both the original leaf spring front suspension, as well as converting to Abarth ***** lower A-arms with coil over integrated dampers. Does anyone have experience with this conversion? is it necessary to reinforce the upper damper anchor, since it will now bear the full weight of the car? any input would be appreciated, including first hand accounts of the effects of this conversion on handling.
thanks in advance, -kenny
Hi Kenny, I was considering this as well. Have you been able to gain any answers yet? Thanks
Scott
You must re-enforce this area, it is not designed to take the total load. It is not difficult, but you must spread the load.
Thanks for your input Joe, that is as I suspected. Incidentally, assuming you've driven the a-arm conversion, is it a worthwhile upgrade?
Why is the damper on upside down ?
