Apologies if this has been asked a million times before, I tryed a search but struggling for a definite answer...

Are the front shocks the same dimensions on both the 16vT and 20vT?? Not bothered about differences in damping.

Also, does anyone happen to now if Alfa 155 V6 front suspension would fit a 16vT??

Thanks in advance.

I noticed that Bilstein list the same part number for the fronts:

16vT

20vT

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=15354004

So I guess I'd be ok with 20vT suspension on a 16vT then.

Yes 16vt shocks are the same as 20vt.

156 suspension won't fit, partly due to the double wishbone setup

Thanks for clarifying.

I actually meant 155 v6 suspension. As far as I'm aware you can bolt 20vT hubs/uprights straight onto the v6.

Also, am I correct in saying integrale Evo calipers will bolt on to a 16vT?

Thanks again for the help.

I'm not sure with the 155 suspension, it might do and it's the same floor pan.

The integrale calipers will fit, but, the mounting holes on the caliper have no thread, same for the hub, no thread. The holes line up perfectly, but you have the issue of no thread laugh

You don't know of anyone that's fitted them do you?

I had a 155 V6 up until very recently and now I'm wishing I'd measured the uprights!

I had 20VT hubs on my 155 and used 155 V6 coilovers. the 16VT uses the 284mm fronts iirc so it's the same hubs as the 155 V6

What track rod ends did you use on yours?? The 20vT?
