I saw it. ThanksMy order is in, placed it a couple of days ago. Can't wait!
Awesome. I have the “D” module as well for core, but it’s not a simple plug and play right?They will be in soon. CDCM's as well. Promise.
Can’t wait to get mine!
Which brand single-action compressor did you use?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.
Cool. Thanks!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.

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.

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

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