Hi. There is a lot that can be done to rectify the I'll handling traits of the fiat 500.

Anexpensive but good way to increase roll stiffness would be by using the rear anti roll bar set up used by the higher models in the 500 range. Infortunatly it's mounted within the axle which would be expensive to find new or used.



One cheaper alternative and more. Realistic would be changing the shocks and springs for matched updated items or coilovers dependant on your personal preferance.
