I meant to say would OEM "shocks" provide a more cushioned ride, or is the GTV-6 just a harder ride than the Milano? --sorry

Did you mean to say 'torsion bars' somewhere? I've driven stock GTV6's, stock Milanos, and both with stiffer suspensions. In my opinion a GTV6 with a stock suspension and Koni Reds shouldn't give a harsh ride. Did you swap the torsion bars back to stock? What about the sway bars? What bushings are you using? There's also a pretty good chance that the sidewalls on the Kuhmo's is a bit stiffer than the original P6's that came with the GTV6. That might be contributing. Are you using the stock 15x6 wheels? Would help to know the complete suspension setup, including how much the car might have been lowered. bs -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 11:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [alfa] GTV-6 Suspension questions I have now down-graded by GTV-6 tires from performance 205/50s to the stock 195/60 Kuhmo ECSTAs for comfort/ride. The car has stock springs and Koni reds adjusted to soft. The ride is definitely softer, but seems harsher than my old stock Milano Verde. Would OEM springs provide a more cushioned ride, or is the GTV-6 just a harder ride than the Milano? Thanks for any suggestions. I'm hoping to get my '74 GTV on track next year.
