.. can you show pictures of your front suspension please?
Are the lower arms level or angled?
I read somewhere that the suspension can be raised to clear speed bumps and will lower (if raised) when at speed?

.. that it has. What I want to see is the suspension from a head-on view with the car at rest.

Thanks.

Interesting bump-stops acting against the top arms. GTV6 and early 75's had them facing against the lower arm, right?

No, the older cars Alfetta, Giulietta, GTV6 up to app late -85 has bumpstops like that, Later GTV6 and 75 has them on the shocks.

Have a nice day!
