Thanks, Barry. Have you noticed that Ron Simmons is now selling a kit including a pair of front GTA discs with the inner hole machined and a spacer to fit the GTV6? Have a look at www.alfaromeo-performanceparts.com and tell me what you think. He also includes the pads and the spacers for the stock c...

GTA front discs in a GTV6?
I've been thinking in fitting a pair of front discs from a GTA or GTV/Spider in my GTV6.
Has anybody already tried this? Do they need major machining? Which are the steps to follow?

Re: Torsion bars versus coilsprings
I know th torsion bars and coil springs should work the same, but that's not what I feel. With "lack of leaness" I mean that you don't have the feeling of having the right amount of load on the outer wheels as fast as de coils do. Of course, there's more stress in the upper shock mounts, b...

Re: Rear Springs
Yes, those springs will fit straight on. To lower the car turning the torsion bars, you have to remove the small plates right at the rear end of each bar. Then, you'll see a threaded hole in the bar. With the car jacked up and with help of an appropiate stud and some custom spacers (unless you have ...

Hi, Barry! The front 50kg springs were definitely far too soft, I've just ordered a pair of 80kg ones and I guess those are going to do the job well. JJ, I didn't reinforce the shock mounting points and I don't feel the front twisting as everybody says. It's certain that I haven't tested it on a tra...

RSRacing tells you to fit the coilovers in combination with the torsion bars. I just removed the torsions, so now I have only the coil springs. I didn't like their behaviour, torsion bars are slower in their movement than coilsprings, so you get a lack of leaness (I guess the word is wrong) over bum...
