If its for the track, otherwise the reds will be fine for the road.

Not too sure about mech/panel guys around Bendigo, Ray Pignataro may be able to help?  I would think that a trip to Melbourne from time to time may be in order though.....

There was previously an Alfa specialist in Ballarat but no idea of their trading name. 

You may have to make a few enquiries.

Cheers.

I have a full set of Koni reds for a 105.  Very little use, essentially brand new.

Cheers

Hi stuart,

To late mate, already in my hot little hands!

Does anyone no what springs suit koni reds? I guess, to get the best out of the konis I should upgrade these too?

Cheers.
