Thanks for the update.
This photo shows how low mine sat. It shook your fillings out. The car did six miles like that. (MOT station and back) then i fitted the standard ones back on.

Bit low alright. I LOVE the orange!

Your car is sitting really nice now. How does it feel on the road. I tried some on mine once and it was too low for me and was too hard on the road. I sold them to a guy who fitted them to his 33. Often wondered about the Sudshop ones. It feels nice and tight (the old lowering springs had become ve...

Holy thread resurrection Batman! So 3 and a half years ago I bought these (and the rears): https://shop.alfisti.net/Tuning-Styling/Classic-Alfas/Alfasud/Suspensions/Alfasud-Sprint-Shock-Absorber-Insert-Front-Axle::9797.html About a year ago I bought 4 lowering springs from Sudshop. (Some of you will...

Result Dave

Stunning job Colin.
You really do deserve a medal for services rendered to Alfasuds

Wise words Fruity

Good man!

And that's great Colin. We need peeps who have your attention to detail to keep these beauties on the road

Agree with Dave re value and what Kev said re your patience Colin

Shrew/petrolhead I hear you re the XR3 wheels - always reminded me of what you would poach eggs in!
I do like the teledial alloy though.
I did fit 17 inch multispokes from a GT onto my 156SW

Very wise choice re engine IMO Chris. My lock up is beyond where I can legally travel to during the higher levels of lockdown here in the Republic of Ireland. As an advertising sales man, income is down too so in fairness the car/hobby fund was hit a little but not lots. I've fettled a few of my fle...

Great news Colin!

That's what I had on the struts I got from John, Paul at MDZ Italtec spent some time setting them up for me because my Sud is lowered.001.JPG

Tony G is that you?

The hub bolt holes can be elongated to allow the angle between hub and strut to be altered enough to correct camber, that's how I did mine on advice from people in the know
I'll try and dig some shots out.

Thanks Kev, very well known and liked specialist here in the ROI did recommend that.

I've a road going 1984 Sud Gold Cloverleaf that is lowered and has too much negative camber up front.
Any reasonably priced solution for top mounts?
Or has anyone created adjustable camber at the bottom of the strut?

Ditto as above but just to say nice fleet Harry

Why?

Don't go out of tune as often?
No expert though-just what I've heard over the years

Hands up who last worked on a twin leading shoe brake system? Laverda 750 GTL. Best of all I worked on one years ago as the brakes were poor. Took it to Ferodo competition shop and they said the original material was HGV stuff, so they matched the materials up with new and the first time I used the...

Chris from what I understand the Dellortos are less temperamental than the Webers?

Thinking about it, a right handed Italian would be better able to engage second gear, than a left handed Brit with a dodgy shoulder?

I do think you're correct they were made that way for the traffic light drag race!

Chris, are you aware of Sudshop.co.uk?

Good man Colin

Similar for a 1984 series Alfasud?

So sorry for your loss Tim

Great stuff Loo!
