they should have them extra bars for track rod ends on all cars, would be handy no get splitting rubbers removing the rod then

 

[Stuartl]

It certainly would make things easier.

Is it possible to lower the ride height of the Panda? I ask as I was looking at putting non standard suspension on, but if I can get away with using the standard mounting points it would be a great help. Any ideas?

Yes you can buy lowered springs that just replace the standard ones. I was actually taking lowered ones out on this car. If you look at the first and last photos of the car you can see the difference in ride height.

Wheres the best place to get them? And how much do they lower the car by?

 

[Stuartl]

No Idea, sorry. I was only tasked with changing them for standard ones.

Ok cheers. Will have a look around. Also, would it be possible to fit cinqicento springs?

I think you can get -30 and -40mm springs

I have been considering the very same thing. Sporting springs are 20mm lower than those on an SX, no idea how they'd compare to those of a Panda, and, well, there's not much to a spring. Wonder if shocks are interchangeable, too. Trouble is my car is used most days so I don't have much chance to tear it apart and try swapping stuff over, or getting those BLOODY UNO TURBO WHEELS ON I BOUGHT ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO.
