Picked here up last friday. Such a great car to own already! First picture:



Already put spacers (15mm front and rear) on it, but I don't have pictures of that already.
Hello,
How does the wheel sit with a 15mm spacer @ the back? I'm looking to use a 15mm or 20mm spacer.
Kind regards

Nice!
I was looking at reviews of these last night (because I should have been working, LOL).
They look like a nice, solid vehicle.
But I think that I may wait for Tonale to drop and see which is better suited as our "other" car. Not that we NEED something, but I'd like to update one of the cars.
The idea of the hybrid with a bit of Alfa spunk is appealing. Will have to wait to see them side by side.

I saw today that someone managed to get a barrel of wine in their Stelvio. It "barreley" fit (ha ha). Hope they brought a long straw!

Congrats on the addition to your Alfa family.
I also watched a lot of Stelvio reviews before considering it haha! But the reviews are good and a test drive totally convinced me. Great, great car!
My wife and I need the space of the Stelvio for here business (she's weddingplanner in Italy for foreign couples), so the Tonale was not an option, nor was waiting for it an option.

Good to know it can have a barrel of wine in the trunk. The prices of wine in Italy are very low compared to the Netherlands, so we bring some all the time haha.

When we go to Italy we walk around the supermarkets and discover pretty nice wines for under 5 euro a bottle, buy some nice cheese and bread and tomatoes and it's a great lunch. They send all the crap to us in the UK and triple the price with taxes.

The problem with there solution is that it makes the rear way to hard which increases a lot of oversteer:
I think the conclusion is that if you want maximum rear grip, you have to accept the "flex" feeling. If you want maximum feeling, you have to accept sudden oversteer.

Maybe I going to try new anti rollbar links on the back by Madeno Racing:

front adj. anti-roll bar end links
€ 165.00
rear adj. anti-roll bar end links
€ 155.00
installation costs
€ 103.00
Notes:
  • compatible with factory Alfa Romeo anti-roll bars and
  • high performance upgraded anti-roll bars.
  • non-preloaded anti-roll bars
  • length adjustable lightweight drop links
  • improved anti-roll bar reaction time & accuracy
  • CNC machined aluminum anodized bodies
  • increased balanced chassis setup
  • essential when chassis corner balancing
  • Madeno RacingMadeno Racing
