Hi,
I've had Ricambi springs on my Milano. The supersport are way too stiff for the street. Many people don't like their "balance" either. I don't know much about IAP springs, but they are designed to work with their larger rear sway bar. Nowadays most people use a stock rear bar or none at all. I have Centerline springs on my Duetto and they are low and stiff. The handling is very neutral ( Koni red shocks, rear sway bar from late model Spider, Falksn Azenis sport 196/60-14 on 14 x 6 BWA's ). They are on the stiff side and are best for smooth roads - the car tends to bounce on the bumps ). I am almost done with the suspension on my GTV and I'm using springs from Dave Rugh engineering of Oregon. The northwest Alfa guys swear by them, as well as many "gurus" in the Alfa world. Although I haven't driven the car with them yet, from an observation standpoint they appear softer than the Centerline springs. They are said to really let the suspension "work". I'm also using Bilstein shocks on this car because Rugh designed the springs with those shocks in mind, although many people run Koni or Sachs sporting gas.
As soon as I get this car down off the jackstands and over to the alignment shop I'll give a report. BTW, I'll be running Kumho Extsa 712's 195/55-15 on 15 x 6 Panasports.
Later,
Dan
