Ready to upgrade the handling of your FIAT 500 without compromising ride quality?

Are you looking to enhance the handling and appearance of your FIAT 500 without sacrificing ride quality?

MADNESS Autoworks presents the ideal solution with our Sport Lowering Springs, expertly crafted to provide an small drop while significantly boosting handling performance.

Developed in collaboration with our renowned European partners, these springs are engineered specifically for the North American FIAT 500. At MADNESS, we understand that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we've created two distinct versions of performance springs to meet the unique demands of FIAT 500 enthusiasts.

The Sport version, featured in this listing, is designed for those who desire a smaller drop combined with enhanced, sportier handling without really impacting ride quality. Our Sport Plus version (available in another listing) offers a larger drop while providing ride quality and improved handling. Please check our other listings for the Sport Plus version.

This Sport version offers the following drop:

FIAT 500 ABARTH              - approximate drop of .7"
FIAT 500 Turbo                   - approximate drop of .7"
FIAT 500 Sport                    - approximate drop of 1.2"
FIAT 500 Pop (pre '18)        - approximate drop of 1.2"
FIAT 500 Pop ('18-on)         - approximate drop of .7"
FIAT 500 Lounge (pre '18)   - approximate drop of 1.2"
FIAT 500 Lounge ('18-on)   - approximate drop of .7"

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

If you want to sharpen the handling of your 500 without sacrificing ride quality or going for the low look - this is the kit for you!

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.
