The newer Alfa's like the 147, and the 156, (which also apparently an evolution of the tipo floorpan confused ) use double whishbone suspension up front. Could this work on the coupe, or is it missing the relevent mount points for the upper wishbone?

Good question, i haven't a clue though.

Apparently you can fit the rear subframe from a GTV on the coupe and its more adjustable (unsure how easy it would be)

I suspect Carl would be one of the few people to know but I doubt it could be done from what I've seen under there frown


I'm kind of hoping to be proved wrong though smile

You could all have an extra paranoia then, as you'd have an extra suspension arm to replace laugh

The top arm is just as prone to wearing out as the rest.

It wont fit, the design is very different. The strut towers were altered to suit.
