People have said that the poly bushings on the watt's and Dedion don't transmit more road noise, but over pebble like surfaces, they most definitely do!

I have 16 inch wheels with 50 series tires, no back seat, and Bilsteins.

Not a bad compromise, but not a "free" mod in my opinion.

Yes, but the SOUND of the 2.5 is incredible. I want the next best thing to a 3.0, a 2.8!

If you're installing an RSR rear bar on a 75, I think you will find this informative:

So...are you saying that if I used a 5X100 wheel with a 73mm center bore and those offset washer lugnuts, I would be OK?

For some reason, specifically hitting a wall at track speeds, I'd think you would need to use one of those machined rings that fits between the hub and the wheel.

What about hubcentric vs lugcentric? If you used offset washers bolts, what do you do to keep the weight of the car on the bore of the wheel and not the lugs?

Alfa 75 ABS brake bias valve

Does anyone know how this thing works? I want to get more a lot more rear brake bias but I'm not sure what to start modifying in this unit. It's the brake bias valve for the MkII Teves system in my American Verde. I changed the spring inside to something roughly 30% lighter, but I don't think it did...

Sorry for dragging this back up...

Having the rear axle bent seems OK. But is it imperative to get the toe corrected afterwards? Suppose the rear axle was only bent to -1.5 degrees. I don't know how to do the math for this...will that bring alot of toe-in?

I'm still de-bugging my car with shankle springs and 28mm front RSR and 26mm rear adjustable RSR bar. But what I can say for certain is make sure you install re-inforcement plates on the front (for the 75's atleast) and you might want to re-inforce the rear sway bar mounts, where it attaches to the ...

What you say, sir, makes a lot of sense, but what do you think about this? "There are a couple benefits to using a teflon injected liner in that they are self lubricating which means you don’t need to grease or maintain them (adding grease or a rubber boot will cause water or dirt particles to ...

What part of the dedion are you referring to? If you mean the center SZ bearing, I went with Poly instead. So, do you suppose smearing the cleaned rod end would be a bad idea?

Yeah, we've got a shop manual for GTV-6 and Milanos too. I'm a little surprised that -1 degree is allowed as a stock setting. Maybe I really should be up in the -2.5 area...
