Hello Alapimba,
I certainly am not the best repository on what makes ride quality, but just the fact that it is a Fiat 600 (short wheelbase) will make the vehicle naturally choppy.
Never mind, back to the matter at hand. All shocks do is control unwanted oscillation of the springs. Every spring has a natural resonant frequency. Just drive your car down the road without shocks and drive through a pot hole. You will boooing-boooing along until the car hits the next bump and a new sequence begins. As there is no shock to help in damping the "reactive" energy, the chassis will try to absorb the energy. This is uncomfortable for the occupants and also generally unsafe. Therefore, shocks do NOT suspend a car, springs do, and shocks help dampen the natural resonancy of the spring. By this damping action they also keep the tire in contact with the road, enhancing traction and safety. The British term for a shock absorber, name "damper", is much more illustrative of its function.
If the goal is get the Fiat 600 to ride like a modern Toyota Camry or equivalent, then this is a pretty tall order. We are talking about suspension systems that are quite different.
I would suggest that the best alternative would be to get NEW "standard" shocks (either no adjustment or single adjustable) and set them up with just sufficient damping to control spring oscillations. Then, to make the car more "stable" particularly in cornering I would install a front stabilizer bar from a Fiat 850 Spider. This will help control chassis roll, and has no effect on normal up-down suspension movement.
As far as springs go, the leaf in the front is pretty much a "fait accompli" although you could try removing one leaf from the package. Remember that the way this leaf is mounted it is really two quarter elliptical springs. Remove one of the shorter leafs. In the rear you could play around with different rear springs, but keeping in mind that "ride quality" is the goal, cutting them shorter is not the answer as this simply siffens them. If you want more compliance, then you need a spring with the same diameter wire, but with more turns. Remember that a spring is nothing more that a torsion bar would up in a coil. The longer the bar the softer the spring. This means having new springs wound, or finding one from another car that fits the bill.
Hope this helps,
