Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Lowered by Auto Fanatic

2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio lowered on ST by KW Sport Linear Springs. This is a phenomenal upgrade for aesthetics and performance while transforming this car to perfection.
The 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio sits much higher than earlier models in the USA, not sure about Europe and other parts of the world. If your tired of the off-road 4X4 look and want the car to handle even better with more confidence and grip out back these are the spring you want to install.

This is officially my 10th view of this video. Just a beautiful car! Well done .

[@NgoiJut]

Just had these KW springs fitted my 2018 QV after getting sick of the stupid high stance and strange high speed behaviour in corners and on the straight when stepping on it. Always felt something wasn't quite right with the setup. You were 100% correct on this, with the new springs aside from the awesome look, the way the car now rides and handles is quite literally astonishing. The difference is night and day, easily now the best handling car I've ever had, better than my 993 turbo Porsche (mostly due to the front end). Car feels so planted and safe and can now be pushed to crazy limits whereas before it was just too twitchy to inspire confidence. Thanks for the vid, you really know your stuff!!

[@autofanaticcars]

sweet thanks for posting, i just installed rear upper adjustable control arms which makes you able to dial in the rear camber the car feels incredible now. these cars are so sensitive with alignments i will be doing a video soon discussing this as i want to hear from owners around the world for us to share the data so we can post it on the Auto Fanatic website as a resource. Also consider my custom spacer set it really dials in the feel further once lowered and makes the front end sharper to jab into corners.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Amazing what less than an inch can do. Looks great!

[@autofanaticcars]

and the best part the chassis and suspension feels even better which is rare when you lower most cars without serious other supporting mods and setting up, now its like perfection X 10

[@garymclaughlin4457]

Can I say that the car looks great lowered and will handle better on smooth flat road surfaces as a result however in undulating surfaces with dips and humps the standard will outperform in my humble opinion. What the rally cars do for handling upgrades is install strut brace bar in engine bay and lower subframe stiffening bars as well as bars on the rear. This will make the car unbelievable added to the lowered suspension.

[@kickyadick]

aha. there it is! thank you Auto Fanatic! What's the part number again, did I miss it?

[@nickemangione]

When I put lowering springs in my Evo X. I called all the major companies and only 1 was able to give me actual data on why they chose certain spring rates and whatnot. They were specifically designed around the valving of the factory Bilstein dampers. I got the look I wanted and it actually rides better than stock. Win win

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah not many companies have this info which is a shame

[@mitchlewis535]

Love your videos! So nice to have someone who actually knows what they are talking about when making modifications to their car's. Couple of questions: 1) Now that you added negative camber (which was an awesome find!), is the car tram lining at all? (following the grooves in bad roads) 2) I assume that the springs don't affect the adjustable shocks...right? The car still rides soft in Normal and stiff in Race? (my wife drives the car too) 3) I've been looking at used Gulia QV's and probably would by a first or second year model. Rumor has it that they are lower from the factory and in 2018 they raised them....correct? Thanks in advance!

[@verrilli]

Informative video. Thanks! I think I heard you say that after you installed the springs, the fender height was 24 1/8 rear and 26 1/8 front. My 2018 is sitting at 27 3/4 rear and 27 3/8 front. Does this mean that it would lower mine 3 1/2 inches in the rear if I installed these springs??? I only have about 3 1/2 finger gap right now though. What alignment settings did you use? Were the springs difficult to install? I guess you need a spring compressor?

[@endurance_pilot]

[@inikkor61]

The 17s are already lowered. You should have a 2 fingers gap.

[@jerrycube6244]

Super nice, back to probably where the springs were originally since AR raised the springs after the first year European models...

[@robnoraflack7364]

Great video. Thank you! One question...You mention in the video that stock spring rates are 183F/275R and the ST's are 399F/428R. That seems like a huge jump in stiffness on the front (218%). Are you sure those are not the stock Q2 spring rates instead of the Quadrifoglio's rates?

[@autofanaticcars]

those are the rates when converted over, it really is not much considered they need to be 30-40% higher for the reduced ride height

[@pininfarina1709]

It looks fantastic. In Europe the 2016 Giulia Quadrifoglio were low like yours but then from 2017 they raised it I believe because of ground clearance problems.

[@autofanaticcars]

the shock valving feels perfect with these lower springs out of all the cars i ever modified that is rare with just springs. i think the chassis was designed to sit lower than the 2018-19 models are.

Looks great man! Why they hell don’t they just do this from the factory. Looks worlds better

[@autofanaticcars]

rumor was many USA. customers bitched it was too low most likely from guys not knowing how to drive and for 2018 they jacked it up, if you look at older pics or EURO photos the cars stance is much better than the 2018 US cars, not its spot on perfect and I am thrilled

[@amac8487]

I completely believe that! We are a soft , soft breed these days hahaha. Anyways, looks great and glad you’re happy with your results!

[@azamchaudhri]

@@autofanaticcars spot on, in Europe they jacked up the car too for 2018 Rumour has it, too many people Complained that the cf splitter was getting damaged. Your car now looks perfect. I'm guessing the factory original springs from 2016/2017 would still be available under a different part number. Don't know whether you researched that option.

[@autofanaticcars]

ah even in Europe, such a shame meanwhile my GT350 would smash the bumper 50 times a day and they never raised the height, i stiffened up the Gt350 and no more bottoming out. I tried to import OEM springs from the earlier cars but impossible since they superceded the part numbers it would be a gamble of actually getting the earlier springs.

[@azamchaudhri]

@@autofanaticcars yep in the UK, lowering the Quadrifoglio is fast becoming the number one mod now. We here couldn't believe how they raised the ride height either. Nuts

[@Musti1986]

I bought my qv with the kw installed and i got the original springs with the car...it's very very beautiful with the lowering springs but the car was scraping everywhere so i installed the original springs and i must say it's much better with the original...it's to low with the kw

[@McLeodAl]

This looks correct. It should come like this stock.

[@peterb4524]

great video. I have begun to look at your productions as the voice of reason for the qv owners to reference. I have a 2017 qv and would like to lower it. I have heard the 17 and 18's have a different stock ride height. if true, would I have ground clearance problem with the st springs you installed? please advise. I may post a similar question on the giulia forum but not sure I will get as solid an answer. thank you.

[@bradstasiuk7668]

Looks great, what turned you away from H&R ?

[@autofanaticcars]

because H&R makes some of the absolute worst springs in the aftermarket they just suck with OEM shocks and bounce and cause the shocks to blow out too quickly.

[@geralddunn6658]

Looks Awesome !! perfect Ride height

[@vanceman99]

Great Video! I've seen it mentioned by you and elsewhere regarding the lower stance on 2017 models (in the US). Did you look into the stats on those or consider them? Also, do the new coils adversely affect the ride when you use the damper switch in Dynamic and Race modes on bumpy roads? I just did a job for Alfa Romeo with these and the Stelvio Quads up at Monterey car week and fell in love with the Giulia QF (though I still haven't figured out why some people call it a QV?) Most of our customers were guys driving Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLaren's and Porsches , so I was surprised at how many of them really, really liked the car for its power, chassis, steering and handling, especially since it is a 4-door sedan.

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Beautiful Car,have fun.

[@robertoruizantonetti6385]

Outstanding.

[@stevenbrennan8017]

Great video. Would you say that the car is less likely to ground the splitter on undulating roads with the increased load capacity of these springs, even though they put the car at a lower stance? I've a 2018 setup factory and I've already scuffed the splitter on a bad dip in the road surface when deployed.

Hey Phil, I’m considering getting these lowering springs for my ‘18 QV. How has the experience been with the car being lowered, I also didn’t didn’t see a video on installing the springs. If you plan to install these springs on your new car I would appreciate an installation video. Thanks!

[@autofanaticcars]

Chris the installation is not that easy as there are special tools you need and you can damage stuff if your not properly equipped when you do it. the springs alone are just OK not ideal because the shock tuning from the factory is just too soft so on bad roads the nose and rear bounces quite a bit. i now have the KWDDC Coilover kit and i really feel it is a far superior upgrade but granted it is $4000 or more today for the parts.

[@chrislewis117]

@@autofanaticcars thank you for the response Phil. I really wanted to improve the stance of the car. Because like you I believe it’s way to high. However, 4K is a considerable amount.

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah the stance is a bit high but what really makes this car shine is when it is lower and you dial in the suspension geometry it feels completely different. you can do springs to see if you like it to get started but if your roads are anything like what I drive on in the NY area you might not like the bounce. For example with the springs on uneven roads i would always hit the front nose underneath, snf approaching driveways or parking lot entrances it always hit.since I installed the Kw coilovers i have not once hit the front anymore all due to the elimination of he bounce with the better shock valving.

I will be ordering the ST springs from my own source, but finally, how many of the spacers come in your kit for the almost $400? Are you sending the sizes that you feel work best for a vehicle, or are we able to choose from a full set of spacers from the kit? Just trying to get things sorted out so I know where to go.

Great video... solid insight, explanation, and demonstration. My question is this... are the ST lowering springs useful, appropriate, or a risk for bottoming/wheel well damage for a 2017 Giulia QV? The ride height for my 2017 is lower than the 2018 QVs, and if I understood correctly, your QV is a 2018 model.

[@divakard]

Do you experience any rubbing when you cut the steering hard in either direction? I already have a bit of that now, and I imagine that gets worse when the car is lowered. Let me know your thoughts! And thanks so much for these really helpful videos. Cheers!

[@autofanaticcars]

no rubbing but with the winter tires even though they are OEM sized they do rub because they are taller physically. this was prior to lowering and no different afterwards, the plastic can easily be modified i have done this for years on customer cars and i may do it to mine if time permits one day.

[@john.e.kenney66]

How was the install done? Spring compressors or top strut nut and floor jack? I did the latter on my Miata for the Stage 1 VMaxx coil over set from Flyin' Miata. Worked great with one person. "Long Bolt Method" or removing lower control arm.

[@keithnemeth1415]

Help......I have my QV in the shop right now getting ST springs installed and they are telling me they can't do it because they think they need a special tool to take the tophat off due to the wire. Is that correct?

[@Anders_HeymSR30]

Mine is an early 2017, so at the factory low ride height. Looks great, and ground clearance is fine, though speed bumps should of course be taken at low speed. Just one comment about the lowest ground clearance, actually it is not the front of the active front aero, it is behind it, as it almost triangle shaped, so 2-3 inches behind the front it goes down an inch or so, which is the lowest part.

[@lorenzo48606]

I ordered my set already thanks to you. I should have them here on the 3rd. Now tell me more about powder coating them? I thought it shouldn't matter about putting on aftermarket parts because of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?

[@autofanaticcars]

dealers are not in tune to this on these cars just powder coat them black just to be under the radar, if it was a Porsche or BMW im sure you would be fine,

[@Atl_Vette]

I was told progressive were better because progressive spring rates change and become stiffer as they compress. So I thought performance wise progressive is the way to go but comfort is linear.

[@autofanaticcars]

i never ever had luck with progressive springs on any car they cause too much oscillation and make the shocks struggle to keep up on our roads and at the track they are never right.Your spending 90% of your driving on the softer than OEM spring rates of the progressive soft coils and thats the issue, you can not really load a progressive spring up on the streets legally speaking. Almost all OEM springs are linear or dual rate of some sort. Search YT for other videos of modified Alfa Romeo QV there are a few videos of a red car in Europe and you can see how badly the nose bounces so much and this is because of the softer progressive springs and in Europe the roads are way better than some of us have in the USA.

@Auto Fanatic, what CAN’T you do to the QV, my Man? Looks fantastic. Nice work. Now you have me thinking I need to get the same thing for my 2017 QV. Had a random question for you...are you well-versed on the Ackermann Angle? I am having that issue with my QV (although I understand it’s not an “issue”), where when you made a u-turn at full crank, the front end gets clunky (almost as if you have severe tire rub). Does changing our the suspension potentially change the Ackermann Angle? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

[@autofanaticcars]

the problem you describe is caused by the Corsa tires and the Ackerman angle combo and nothing else, it is normal and annoying at the same time. I swear it gets so bad it will eventually brake and wear suspension joints over time. with my Winter tires it does not do that and with Michelin all seasons it does not do that. I still think having Corsa on this car is a bad idea for daily use and il be changing mine out in the spring to something more livable. Corsa best suited for track and canyon road carving.

[@jessb.6493]

Auto Fanatic , thanks for the thorough answer. I am out in SoCal, where there is no winter to speak of. I still have the original Corsas on it, and I am at 6K miles on my 2017 QV. Do you recommend jumping into a set of all-weather tires to help diminish the Ackermann issue? Open to suggestions and respect the hell out of you for taking the time!

@@autofanaticcars HAHA Amen to that! I agree with the cultivating a relationship with your dealer. A bottle of Kentucky's finest or drink of choice for the mechanic and service advisor in the trunk at drop-off goes a LONG way. Just sayin' Oh, and I love your videos. Very informative as always.

May I ask what size the wheels are?

[@tedwats8792]

I have a 18 TI sport with the staggered 19s I was looking at the kw coilovers for mine. I don't have the active suspension. Would you recommend this for my Giuliano?

[@autofanaticcars]

yeah that would be a great kit for your TI sport

My h&r springs are horrible on my m6. Bottomed out in NYC can't drive the car in the winter

[@autofanaticcars]

H&R are called the suspension destroyers in my book, they just suck and always have and blow shocks out so easily. for your M6 do a Kw V3 or Clubsport kit once you dial it in then are awesome on our roads but it takes a ton of time setting up.

Cant spot in the comments so apologies if already asked - from where did you order these kws? While i do not want them for my Giulia Veloce (wifes car) i want the KWs for my Maserati Ghibli. Sits ridiculously high. I have found the kws on ebay but thats about it. I am in Australia so not a lot of options from what i can find. Thanks in advance :)

[@autofanaticcars]

Max best bet is to email KW direct in Germany and they will send you the proper info and part numbers for ordering. Also Novitec Rosso offers springs for the Maserati range which are made by KW. I have installed many on Ferrari and Maserati perfectly.

Would these ST springs work for the Stelvio QV? If so, drop amount is the same?

[@autofanaticcars]

they will fit but the Stelvio is heavier so it might not be a good idea with how these were originally designed, contact KW North America for tech advice

[@colonelsnyder2413]

Hey,AF: Would ST springs work as well on my Stelvio Quad? Someone said they’d screw up the nannies. I don’t know how...

[@autofanaticcars]

i do not know if these springs will work on the Stelvio QV i certainly would love to try that out.
