It's gradually becoming more and more pogo like, like the shocks have lost rebound damping. I can't see any leaks, anything obvious.

Anyone experienced this and what did you find/did you end up modding and what?

I dumped the standard shocks etc fairly early on and put the Koni setup on the car - must say it did transform the handling. I was lucky and managed to get the setup from Ebay and had a local indie fit for me. I considered it a bargain and a overall result

What were the shocks and did you get front two only?

I put this on it ... http://www.abarth.com/kit-accessories/koni-suspens...

Lowers the car a little as well. At the same time the car was due brakes and tyres so I put 215/40 on instead and installed https://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/brakes/ebc-brakes/b... with green stuff pads

I swapped the exhaust for this http://www.xclusiveautosports.co.uk/index.php?rout... - remote control baffles ..

And had it remapped to about 190/190

various other bits too

was good fun, but sold it a couple of years ago as needed to go "auto" for a number of reasons
