 | Alfaholics Fast Road Suspension Kit We have developed suspension kits for fast road use suitable for all 105 series cars: comprising 4 lowered and uprated springs and a 29mm anti-roll bar. When combined with either Bilstein or Koni shock absorbers, it radically transforms the handling of the car and the way it turns into corners. We recommend the removal of the rear anti-roll bar and replacing certain bushes with the polyurethane equivalent. Comprehensive advice on fitting, ride heights etc., is given on purchase of the kit. 3 different ride height kits are available to ensure the kit is tailored to your individual specific requirements and usages (Kit A, Kit B or Kit C). Kit A is our standard ride height kit for Giulia saloon or rough rally spec increased ride height for GT, Kit B lowers GT/Spider 1" from standard (making a Giulia 2-2.5" lower) and Kit C lowers a GT/Spider 2-2.5". All Alfaholics springs are manufactured from the best quality EN48 steel. Upgrade to FIA 2 1/4" front spring kit CLICK- £145 extra Upgrade to 29mm anti-roll bar with s4 ball-joint drop links - £80 extra CLICK "The Alfaholics springs with Koni yellow sport shocks are a revelation. The car's stance is very stable with negligible body roll. But it's still supple enough to handle bumps without complaint. Frankly, the ride is very comparable to a BMW M series or M-B AMG. No wonder this car was so well respected in the 60's, it's even pretty great today!" Carl Liebold "the GTV stuck like glue. It felt wonderful and I could easily have gone faster... your Fast Road Suspension works so well that I easily ran with the track experts while my wife dozed in the seat next to me!" Gary Williams commenting on a driving weekend in the Olympic National Park "Indeed a very good suspension kit for fast road , very comfy , straight forward to install, very good support from Max and Richard for the set up" Bruno Manfredini | Price: £375 |

 | Alfaholics Lightweight Spring Pan Alfaholics production. Lightening holes are laser cut for improved accuracy and consistency. Lower pan holes swage-punched to increase the strength and rigidity beyond that of a standard pan. We recommend combining these pans with our FIA 2 1/4" front spring conversion for maximum weight saving - 7.2KG total with this combination. They are pre-drilled to take our FIA 2 1/4" conversion. Finished in high quality black powder coating. | Price: £59 each |
 | Road/FIA 2 1/4 Small Spring Kit 60% lighter than standard spring set up. Designed using CAD, this kit allows the use of 2 ¼ inch springs with standard Alfa spring pans. This makes it ideal for road and trackday cars looking to reduce unsprung weight. It also complies with FIA regulations as it retains the original spring mounting points, making it the perfect Appendix K front suspension upgrade. Kit includes all aluminium parts required for both sides of the car, two 5mm spacer rings allowing ride height to be shimmed accurately, all bolts and a rubber shock mat to damp out unwanted noise on road cars. £175 without springs, £245 with springs.

 | Full Race 2 1/4 Small Spring Kit Full race 2 1/4" small spring kit designed to be used on all models of 105 series Alfas. Designed using CAD & CAM this spring kit does not require the use of a spring pan or a heavy full size Alfa style spring. This constitute a massive weight saving (4.2KG per corner!). It bolts directly to the outer spring pan holes on the standard wishbone. It features a fully adjustable threaded spring platform allowing the front ride height to be altered quickly and easily, without removing the spring. This also allows a much finer and more accurate control when corner weighting the car, essential for shaving the last few tenths off lap times and for improving driveability. This gives all the benefits of a coil over unit without any of the structural problems of mounting a coil over unit to the inner wing. The mounts come finished in hard black anodizing complete with C-spanner for adjusting ride height. Also available with springs at request, call to discuss optimium spring rate and length.

 | Alfaholics Race Front Anti-roll Bar Kit 29mm S4 type front anti-roll bar with blade fitment at the ends. This allows usage of S4 Spider ball-joint drop links which are far more durable than standard rubber bush drop links. Kit comes complete with conversion mounts for wishbone to accept ball-joint drop links and polyurethane mounting rubbers. Upgrade to Rose Jointed Drop link Kit for £110 extra CLICK | Price: £260 |
 | Rose Jointed Front Anti Roll Bar Drop Link Kit Adjust out any pretension in your front anti-roll bar with this premium quality kit. Requires use of s4 Spider type 'blade' anti-roll bar. | Price: £180 |
 | Alfaholics Adjustable Blade Rear Anti-Roll Bar Superb CAD design. Adjustable via rotatable blades, this makes adjustment incredibly simple and fast, requiring no unbolting of components or jacking of vehicle. A mere loosening of an extremely accessible bolt is all that is required to adjust, so can be performed in the pit lane. This also makes the bar infinitely adjustable between full stiff and full soft. It is mounted under the front of the trailing arms, permitting fitment even if aftermarket axle linkages such as Watts, Panhard or Mumford are used, which usually add huge compexity to rear bar fitment. The kit comes complete with mounting brackets, PTFE lined rose joints, 12.9 tensile cap head bolts and nyloc nuts - ready to fit. Contact Max for further details about applications requiring fitment of this product. max.banks@alfaholics.com | Price: £395 |
 | Koni Sport Damper Recommended for use with our Fast Road Suspension kits. | Price: £68 each |
 | Bilstein Damper Suitable for use with Alfaholics trackday suspension kits for trackday and mild racing use. | Price: £89.00 each |
 | Alfaholics Aluminium Adjustable Trackday/Race Dampers Exclusively manufactured for Alfaholics by a leading UK race damper specialist. These dampers have been in development for many months; firstly with rigorous bench dyno testing to set the valving range and bump and rebound characteristics. Followed by thorough fast road testing and culminating in a 3 day test at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The Nordschleife has become THE development ground for all the major car manufacturers. With its array of both slow & fast bends, varying gradient, surfaces and camber changes spread over a 13 mile lap, it really is the ultimate testing ground. Our extensive experience at the Ring with 105 Series Alfas would make this the ultimate development programme for our dampers. Bilstein dampers are OK up to a point for trackday and mild race use, but we have found them to have fundamentally flawed characteristics. This means that body control & direction change is compromised on circuit, whilst road ride quality is also not optimal. The damper valving data we have acquired over the last 5 years whilst running our Alfaholics 2.0 Sprint GT racer on F1 spec dampers across a range of historic, semi-slick and full slick tyres, from street to F1 circuits, has been collated and applied to these new Alfaholics dampers. This means that whatever the application of your car, be it trackday, historic race, or modern tyre racing, these Alfaholics adjustable dampers can be adjusted to the perfect setting for your application. They feature specially machined fittings, enabling standard fitment for both the front and the rear of the car, with the added benefit of the front using a spherical bearing for its lower mount giving extra accuracy and durability. The rear has been designed to allow the spring to be damper mounted with threaded platforms to enable accurate cornerweighing for race cars. Alternatively the original chassis spring seating can be used if coil over is not permitted in your race series. The adjuster knob is a CNC machined billet aluminium item with positive ‘clicks’ offering excellent ease and accuracy of adjustment. We have designed these adjusters to be mounted at the base of the dampers, as top mounted adjusters are extremely difficult to reach on these cars. Testing at the Nurburgring proved that the new dampers radically improve turn in and composure during fast direction changes. The car remained far more settled over kerbs providing greater confidence on the limit and therefore higher cornering speeds. A wet and very greasy morning session showed that being able to soften the rear dampers below Bilstein settings, vastly improved turn in and mid corner speed and made the car far easier to drive on the limit. Speeds that previously with Bilsteins would have led to an accident were shrugged off corner after corner with ease! The other key objective we were looking to achieve was an improved ride quality on the road, with the dampers set in the softer positions. This was tested and adjusted during the 1000 mile round trip to the Ring. The results were fantastic, on their softest setting the ride quality was remarkable, nearly comparable to our fabled fast Road Kit, even with mild race springs! In their stiffest positions they give a range of settings perfect for slick shod race cars with adjustment allowing for a differing stiff spring rates, circuit types and driver preferences. As the shocks are adjusted softer they give adjustment to suit settings for semi slicks, lightweight GTA race settings, historic tyres settings, wet weather settings down to the softest settings which provide beautifully compliant ride for trackday cars on the road. These Alfaholics shock absorbers represent the ultimate damper solution for all trackday, rally or full race 105s! | Price: £375 each |
 | Alfaholics Quick Steering Arms Alfaholics production using the very latest manufacturing methods. Fabricated from premium quality EN8 medium carbon steel. Exquisite jig used to ensure accuracy of bend. Finished in premium quality black powder coating. These steering arms increase the ratio of your steering to GTA spec, requiring smaller steering inputs. | Price: £195 pair |
 | Alfaholics Trackday/Race Front Suspension Geometry Pack This beautifully CNC machined kit replaces the original bottom ball joints fitted to your 105 series Alfa Romeo, allowing your car to benefit from the superb geometry improvements of our tubular wishbone kit whilst still retaining standard wishbones. This makes the car far easier and more predictable to drive on the limit, as well as being faster. The retention of original wishbones allows the kit to be used in more tightly regulated race series (such as SVRA) where original suspension arms must be retained, but it also makes this kit perfect for both fast road and trackday 105 Series cars. This kit is fully compatible with both our FIA 2 ¼” kit which retains springs pans and our full race kit which removes them. The kit increases castor by being offset forwards and also corrects the front rollcentre back above ground level, in so doing increasing the roll-on camber at the same time. These significant problems of all 105 series Alfas with standard geometry make lowered cars far harder and slower to drive than they should be. A typical method of reducing the camber and castor problems with standard geometry is to start with more static camber, but this itself has 2 major problems; reduced footprint for braking but more significantly, increased nervousness, particularly on uneven and cambered surfaces. The increased roll on camber and castor provided by this kit allow a reduced level of static camber to be set, vastly improving the driveability of dual purpose road and track cars. This Alfaholics kit is supplied with rose jointed outer track rods with specially pre-machined pins that remove bumpsteer completely. No special setup equipment it required! The complete eradication of bumpsteer makes the car far easier and more enjoyable to drive, as the steering wheel no longer kicks around in your hands, when the suspension moves up and down over bumps and under braking. Also included are a pair of ‘shock extender pins’ which reset the travel of the shock absorber back into the middle of its travel, just as our ‘Shock Turret Extenders’ do for the rear suspension. All parts are CNC machined to the very highest standards and then plated. All rose joints and bearings are premium quality PTFE lined self lubricating items, whilst the outer trackrods are finished in premium black powder coating. Customers already with our rose jointed trackrod kit can purchase all the other parts separately - £275 | Price: £495 |
 | Alfaholics T45 Tubular Wishbone Kit This wishbone kit is the ultimate upgrade to perfect the front suspension geometry of your race 105 series Alfa. It is made from the ultimate strength steel tube known as T45, with chemically matched steel billet for the CNC machined parts. All is fully TIG welded to the very highest quality. They are essential in order to get the whole car working perfectly. When the ride height of a 105 with standard wishbones is lowered for racing, the wishbones pass the horizontal at static ride height, lowering the front roll centre significantly below the ground. This has several severe adverse effects on the geometry and handling characteristics of the car. The increase in negative camber when the suspension rises becomes negligible, and when added to the roll of the car in the corner it leads to ‘roll on positive camber’ (i,e, the camber reduces in cornering). This causes the outside edge of the tyre to overheat easily leading to understeer and thus, accelerated tyre degradation. Another significant problem of having the rollcentre very low is that roll at the front of the car is increased. This leads to excessive roll in corners and excessive ‘3-wheeling’. A further problem of standard wishbones is that they are symmetrical about the centre line of the top suspension arm. Thus, very little castor is achievable before either the tyre touches the rear of the arch bulkhead, or the top arm touches the chassis leg. Fitting these tubular front wishbones not only reduces the un-sprung weight of the front suspension, but also vastly improves the geometry. By attaching to the underside of the bottom part of the upright, they lift the front rollcentre back above the ground, thereby increasing roll-on negative camber. As they are asymmetrical the amount of castor available is greatly increased. They also reset the ratio of the front to rear rollcentres when used in conjunction with the Alfaholics Watts Link Kit, this ratio is critical in maintaining high speed stability and driveability. This ratio is maintained at a good height at which traction is optimised without having large roll characteristics. With all the rose joints fully screwed in, the wishbone is the same length as a standard wishbone, rose joints may be screwed out to widen the front track and inner rose joints may be screwed asymmetrically to further increase or decrease available castor. The Alfaholics Tubular Wishbone Kit is used in conjunction with the Alfaholics Full Race 2 1/4” Small Spring Kit, so those of you who already have this kit need not worry that it becomes obsolete. The Alfaholics Tubular Wishbone kit comes complete with modified cross pins, premium quality rose-joints (the outers being stainless steel PTFE lined self lubricating items), all bolts to 12.9 spec, aircraft quality K-nuts and Schnorr safety washers. All sleeves and machined parts are included and made from the highest grade EN24T. The kit is completely reversible, requiring no chassis or upright modifications, so if you ever end up racing your car in a series or a 1-off race where you must use standard wishbones, it is a simple unbolt and replace job. For racing use only, not designed for rally or road use. | Price: £1395 pair |

 | Watts link conversion In racing, the height of the rear roll centre severely restricts the car's ability to put its power down properly. This conversion lowers the rear roll centre significantly and prevents the axle moving from left to right under heavy loading. A significant upgrade for racers that will shave seconds off lap times. Kit includes fabricated beam with rose-jointed link to replace T-bar, all rose-joints, bearing & circlip, turrets, lock-nuts, bolts and rods. All steel parts are powder-coated to the highest standard. £820 with standard quality rose-joints, £895 with premium quality rose-joints. | Price: £830 / £895 |
 | Alfaholics Lightweight Trailing Arms Premium production, exclusive to Alfaholics. These arms have been made using brand new Alfa Romeo trailing arms, NOT second hand items. They feature drilled and swaged (indented) holes. The swaging actually makes these lightweight trailing arms more rigid that standard trailing arms, improving the geometry of the suspension when cornering! All trailing arms have been bead blasted after drilling & swaging and finished in superb quality black powder coating. They have been trialled to huge sucess for the last 5 seasons with the Alfaholics 2.0 Sprint GT racer, and for the last 3 years on the road with Max's GTA Replica. Limited availability due to low supply of new Alfa trailing arms. Not to be confused with cheap imitation items now on the market. | Price: £205 each |
 | Alfaholics Extreme Lightweight Trailing Arms As above Alfaholics Lightweight Trailing Arms, made using brand new Alfa Romeo trailing arms, but featuring extra drillings for even more weight saving. The swaging makes these ultra lightweight trailing arms more rigid than standard trailing arms!

Not to be confused with cheap imitation items now on the market! | Price: £235 each |
 | Solid Aluminium Shock Absorber Turret Extenders Manufactured using the latest technology of water-jet cutting, from 1" thick aluminium plate. By lowering your 105 considerably from standard ride height, shock absorbers made to factory specification, run low in their range of travel. They then run the risk of bottoming out and damaging the internal valving. Fit these 1" extender blocks under your steel top hat turrets to lift the shock 1" further back into the middle of its stroke range. Early cars such as Sprint GTs and GTAs have shorter turrets fitted with an original cast aluminium block similar to these we have manufactured. However, often over the years these are forgotten about during a rebuild and the shocks will then bottom out before the car goes on to its bump stops. If your car does not have them fitted, ensure you fit these to prevent damage to your shock absorbers. As fitted to Max's GTA Replica. | Price: £48 a pair |
 | Adjustable Top Arm Allows completely variable camber for finer race suspension set up. For best results, we recommend fitting with polyurethane top arm inner and castor bushes. | Price: £82.50 each |
