I have a 2.0ltr 147 Lusso and its rolling on the 17" wheels. (And I didn't tick the sillyspeed gearbox option!!!!)

Anyway I find it a little bit rolly going into some corners at speed, I noticed that Autodelta do a lowering kit - has anyone driven with this set up - is it worth it?? The ride can be a bit crashy anyway with the bigger wheels and super low profile tyres so I'm not after rock hard set up.

DO NOT LOWER ANY MORE !!

I find mine used to roll a lot, but then it would practically take the front of the car off over speed bumps so i settled for the anti rollbars instead, [pic] www.ad.3wows.com/catalog/images/anti%20roll%20bar%20kit.JPG [/pic]
Much better, i did tick the silly speed box, and have the sports pack and 17" alloys as well, pic in profile !!

Right, you just reminded me about that autodelta turbo kit

Job done then - thanks for that!

Now another question.... Alfa in their great wisdom use some quality materials - take the calipers and rear box for example... they rust to sh1t.

I've had the car back to D****a (shocking customer service) three time to put a new back box on because of the rusting - on a two year old car not good enough so now on my third back box they fitted a black one - well at least I thought that it has been sprayed black cheap job but looks much better! Anyway the main problem is the calipers wanted to go for some nice red ones (looks good against the black body) but Autodelta want 900 sheets for a set of Brembo calipers and disks - do you know of any others?

Waste of money i reckon, better spent towards a set of Vented discs all round, braided hoses, some nice EBC greenstuff pads and whilst your at it re-enamelling in red the calipers...

Then using the spare cash to set it up with a nice SS exhaust system !!
