I have a friend who races a Giulietta spider. He is convinced that he wants more negative camber in the front. To make a long story short, what is the...
Hi Bill, Not that I am a font of wisdom on the matter(!), but I think that unless you have a very liberal rule book for your racing series, then due to the...
... he wants more negative camber in the front. ... accomplishing this? Has anyone devised adjustable upper arms? ... Use shims on the lower a-arms....
Using Shims on the Lower Arms is the tried & proven method. But to get back to where it once was, the bottom frame rails may have to be pulled back out and...
Thanks to all, He has run out of threads while shimming the bottom out. By pushing the bottoms out, he is close to tire interference with the fenders. Thus,...

Does anyone know of a rear sway bar application for a Giulietta Sprint? I have a 1" bar on the front and handling is reasonably balanced but it does understeer...

Paul, What are the actual ratios for the OS Giken "super close". I know the one they offered a couple years ago was more like an old factory Alfa GTA or TZ...
