Does anyone know of a supplier that makes firmer, but not lowered rear springs? I just lifted the front of the 90 back up to stock, and it's nice not scraping on everything taller than gravel.
I'd really like to keep close to stock ride height with firmer rear springs and torsion bars (let's face it, driving hard means you need more clearance on real world roads due to roll, dive etc), firmer bars are no issue, can set to wherever I wish, but I need the firmer rear springs at stock height.
I thought about using air bags in the rear springs to increase rates and allow adjustability of rates. For those that don't know, you can buy bags that fit inside the springs, when you inflate them, it locks up a certain part of the spring, making it effectively firmer.

Well, I would say ring Vin at PACE, but you've made it pretty clear in the past that you believe the all the local specialists are ripoff merchants and don't deserve your business, so don't do that.

King springs have an off the shelf firmer spring for 75s, so I gather they have one for 90s.

Thanks for your opinion. You are entitled to it just as I am entitled to mine.

Wow, a petty shit stirrer on a forum, how original of you. What are your other tricks, blindly agreeing with the majority?
Perhaps I modified my post in the name of being polite, something your bogan parents clearly didn't teach you.
Thanks so much for making this forum a better place, you and your boyfriends can all gather round now and celebrate running off another new Alfa owner, who perhaps knows something more than you.

Good bye.

You guys are all class......

Andrew please keep the posts up they make good reading.

Also great to have a first time Alfa owner on board and that in itself should be encouraged - the marque needs more of them.

Cheers,
