Alfissimo "GTA" (inspired) Performance Springs for Giulia QV


Alfissimo’s "GTA" inspired Performance Spring for the Giulia QV (Stelvio QV)

Made in Italy

Our springs have been developed to have slightly higher rates to the OEM GTA spring and perform better than OEM or any other spring on the market. We call them the "GTA" springs in order to connect the GTA/m ECU software and our springs for the ultimate suspension package. Although inspired by the GTA suspension spring they are not a copy of the GTA spring. We ordered GTA springs for testing and concluded the GTA springs are still too soft and not what we wanted to bring to QV/GTA/m owners. The whole point of developing these springs was to go beyond what any spring on the market (lowering only) or from Alfa produce. We put a great amount of thought and testing into them.


Coupled with the GTA/m Suspension Software ECU the Standard QV is transformed. Overall: Much better handling, no wallow, less droop, no bump steer, no teeter or rear end squat, slightly sportier in A,N modes (less float) but still maintains the characteristics of those modes and what they are there for. D mode is much sportier but compliant, Race-mode is much more for track use.

Made in Italy with the same manufacturer that produces our 2.0L springs, they are of the Highest quality, engineering and craftsmanship.

We have opted for a 9.55-10mm (could settle to 10mm+) lowering only, based of the 2017 QV Spring height. We developed these upgraded springs to run with the GTAm suspension software or Standard software to be compatible on the track to practical on the street. These springs may be slightly more costly than off the shelf lowering springs but there has been more R&D put into these springs than the others on the market. These compliment the car, shock calibration and work well in all modes.

Details:

Available in Powder coated Red with the option to special order Black (incognito)

~10mm Lowering from 2017 ride height.

TUV certified/ISO 9000/9001 (Certified for use on roads in Germany/EU)- NOT AVAILABLE YET

Fits Giulia/Stelvio QV/GTA/m. (Does fit Stelvio QV)

*Testing completed with track sessions @Sonoma Raceway and many hours on the street and now sold all over the world including 2x GTAm cars.





Also now our CORSA Dual Rate Spring.




Coupled with the CDCM Suspension Software from the GTA/m Cars this is the ULTIMATE Upgrade and a game changer.

We are also looking into a more track rated spring but we will have news on that later this year 2023.

Even my black ones? My service manager commented on my 'aftermarket' springs, so I need to go incognito for warranty work.

Black are powder coated again once they get here at an extra cost. 1-2 weeks more for those

I saw it. Thanks
Hey Jason, any word on when these are available again? I’ll be ordering black with a CDCM hopefully at the same time if they’re in stock…

Awesome. I have the “D” module as well for core, but it’s not a simple plug and play right?

Here's the install video I promised. I didn't fully document the re-assembly of the front struts so it didn't make it into the video unfortunately. Hopefully this helps others considering a DIY install.

Which brand single-action compressor did you use?

I see this one on Amazon, but this could be a cheap knock-off version of yours. I don't want to take my head off lol!!


Also, why did you discarded the upper control arm to knuckle nut and bolt? It's not specified as one-time use.

That's the spring compressor I used. Greasing the 'tube' and acme screw makes it work 100% better. The torque required was cut in half at least after I put some wheel bearing grease on the screw and the tube. The forks slide directly against the tube under load, tons of friction there.

There's conflicting information in the documentation, so be safe I just replaced them. Cheap insurance.

Cool. Thanks!

As far as theUCA to knuckle bolt, conflicting info... go figure lol (Alfa).

Well I'm going to hope that since @Alfissimo doesn't sell that one as part of the front suspension removal kit, that it's OK to reuse.

Mine has seen plenty of reuse each time I adjust my front camber for track days 😂

One more thing about that tool...

Did you actually get it from Amazon? There are so many for sale with different names, and some have really scary reviews where the casting broke and springs just missing people's heads, etc.

This the exact one I got:

I just ordered it. There are way more successful reviews than bad ones. Then there's your success, so I just hope it's durable enough to do my Giulia QV AND Stelvio springs jobs!

Thanks!

It worked twice for my car. I went from ST to stock, then from stock to GTA. I think you'll be OK.

It's the second time that I realized that grease would help.

Cool! I'll be sure and lube it up really good on the first go.

Thanks!

BTW, I'm going from KW ST to the track version of @Alfissimo GTA springs in my Giulia QV.

On my Stelvio I'm going from stock to Alfissimo springs.

I'm going to start with Stelvio for practice, I think.
