So I've taken some time off from my office during the Easter and ANZAC day holidays to work on and finalise the stance work on my '04 Facelift 156. Will be rolling and pumping out the wheel arches and then installing and setting up my BC coilovers.

So in preparation, I've been surfing the interwebz on Da Google to get some inspiration and examples of how I would like my 156 to finally sit. In doing so, I came across an Alfa Romeo appreciation thread on Stanceworks.com.

Just thought I'd share for anyone that may be interested in some nice sitting Alfas  ;D:

Nice!  :D

Are the KW and Zeatek coilovers height adjustable?

If so, what ride height do some of the Ausalfa guys have them riding at and what do they think of the ride quality?

Here's some pics while my friend and I were working on the coilovers.

My friend greatly underestimated the time needed to complete the job and he was expected somewhere else that day, so in the end we didn't complete the job  :o , but instead decided to just trial fit one corner and get measurements for when we complete the job in a couple of weeks:

Getting a visual feel for possible ride height


Admiring the flushed and bad ass stance from the front


I'll post pics of the finish product  ;)

I love the stance on my Series 1 V6 156. Standard 16'' teledials (with 55 profile rubber) and lowered suspension. Only problem is dealing with bloody speed bumps! Also have finally ditched the Maxxis shown in the first pic for Bridgestones in the second. Has made a noticeable difference.

Before: 1999 156 V6 Q-auto
            2001 156 V6 (sadly cremated)
