The 2012 500 Abarth I bought in Oct came with recent brakes, rotors, shocks & struts (all shiny & free of rust). The car is definitely a blast to drive, but I've noticed some squirreliness changing lanes or hitting any pavement lines. I had an alignment done & my toe was out & it made the car better. The other night & was merging onto a highway under construction & moved over 2 lanes under heavy acceleration. The car was hard to control as moved across the lanes. Went down the rabbit hole of suspension mods but when looking at upgraded shocks for the rear, the Koni Excel-G's that are on it are not listed for the Abarth. Not sure what struts are in there (will investigate when it stops raining) but I assume the shop that did the wrong rear shocks also f'd up the front. My question is what are the problems would come from running regular 500 shocks/struts on the Abarth?
