Fitted Eibach spacers all round to the G. 16mm on each wheel.

I'll be going to the ring on sunday, so will comment on the change in steering feel then.

I believe it is 20 mm on the rear and 16mm at the front...oh well good luck:thumbup:

Does adding Spacers put more stresses on the CV joints?

 

[Cuore_Sportivo_155]

no, the cv joints are connected to the wheel bearings.

and no pictures. can't put them online for the moment. not much to see anyway, and didn't do it for looks

 

[Cuore_Sportivo_155]

Tomorrow's the day, wish me luck. or at least that no wheels will come off.

Pulled a +1G on the roundabout today, not too bad considering the eco tyres I currently have. They do squeal before they let go, but that just adds to the drama and excitement for the watchers.

good luck...no shame dying doing what you love!!!80s child...sorry!!:thumbup:

 

[mazor]

what device did you measure the G force Cuore_Sportivo_155?

 

[Cuore_Sportivo_155]

the factory built-in g-meter, the one the vdc uses aswell.

you can see the effect of the spacers AND of the rear QV springs

 

[ryezy]

good to see you representing the alfas in that dull pack:thumbup:hope you enjoyed it.how did car handle

 

[cue2]

I saw a white Giulietta on the motorway in Switzerland once which definitely had spacers and the stance looked good. Ironic as the wheels are set inboard as std to allow for snow chain clearance!

The car did extremely well. TCT was sublime, always in the right gear! That was a problem 10 years ago when I went there with a manual. of course, after you're about halfway you don't know if your coming or going, and if the road is going up or down....

The car is very neutral in the corners, no under or oversteer, just starts sliding (and tyre chirping) on both axles.

The brakes got hot, but coped perfectly. I've got brembos.

I don't know my way there anymore though, and it was very busy.

yes, I'll not be running spacers with the winter wheels (which are 205/50R17 and am now running 215/50R17)

 

[mazor]

The car was the spacers looks impressive! Looks like as it should if it was from factory.

It is good though you have the option to remove the spacers in favor of wheels that will fit snow chains and have adequate clearance from the wheel guard.

 

[samb1]

Can't see the effect at all (unless your car is the red one)

 

[Cuore_Sportivo_155]

that's ok, I didn't fit spacers for looks. I would not have specified 17" wheels either if I was interested in that...

 

[mazor]

true not sure how good my 18" burnish colored 5 horseshoe rims with rubber band like tyres would perform on the track eh.

 

[Cuore_Sportivo_155]

depends on the smoothness of the track, I would think...
