H&R part #29135-2 (the #2 being specific to Abarth models)
I ordered these springs from a distributor in Germany.
When doing this install, we made sure the suspension was fully compressed before torquing the upper control arm bolts and lower shock bolts. We used a floor jack under each hub till the car started to lift off the hoist before torquing the bolts.
I measured a 1.25" drop on the front, but more interestingly, a 1.75" drop on the rear. The car rides a little firmer but that was to be expected. Not harsh. So far I haven't had any issues with ground clearance.
(Update)The ride height from the centre of the wheel to the upper fender is about 12.75" front and rear.
Very pleased with the results.
