Berlinista, the vintage racing rules in the U.S. vary from one organization to another. But most would not permit coil over front suspensions. All of the modifications you describe are in use on cars racing in series that accept such non-original parts. My brother races a Giulietta against modern cars in SCCA production car racing. I don't think a single piece of the front suspension on his car is original. Other Alfas are raced with full tube frames in SCCA GT racing. VSCDA, the sanctioning organization for my GTV race car limits modifications to those that were generally used prior to the early 70's.

I hope that helps to explain things.
