Does the Q4 share the same suspension dampers and springs as a Fiat Coupe?

Short and sweet answer there. The Coupe and 155 do share some suspension components, so I'm sure dampers could be made to fit, but as for spring diameters and rates, absolutely no idea how close they are.

Thanks for the answer, the reason I asked is that I am working with BC Racing to create a new set up for the Coupe, If they fitted the Q4 then it would be a bonus for you guys.

Just taken a look online for images of the coupe suspension and if (ha ha) the pics of the components are accurate, then the 2 look pretty similar.

Whats the weight and weight distribution of the Coupe?

This is the D2 suspension made on a special 'Group Buy' facilitated by Steve.

They are offering suspension (and also breaks) for the Q4, which are good stuff (according to my local dealer) and the suspensions are looking similar. Thats why I thought they could be from k-sport. :thinking-011:


I fitted a used "FK Automotive" (http://www.fk-automotive.de/ (http://www.fk-automotive.de/)), normally for 155 V6 about 1 week ago and it works fine. It's adjustable in hight at front and rear.
I'll post some pictures, when I have them. :unsure:

Cheers, Martin

no

Thanks for the answer, in what way are they different?

Coupe shocks will be the same as a widetrack 155. The narrow track 155 and some other Fiats are also the same except for the hole locations for the retaining bolts to the uprights.

Top hats should be the same but if not you can just use correct one

Springs are the same only rates different

So no definite answers then? If you are interested in what fits what (from Coupe to Q4) then let me know.
I have Coupes, but no Q4 so if anyone wants to send some used parts or accurate drawings I can tell you if it will fit.
You might even find out that a rear ARB may work....
