I finally lowered my Stelvio Quadrifoglio. I’ve been looking at images of the lowered Stelvio QV for a while. They look sportier and more aggressive. For those who love powerful wagons, there is little to chose from, so this may me the answer.
The 2 main options are the K&N springs, 1.6”, and the MADNESS Autoworks, at 2.5”. I wanted somewhere in between. MADNESS had a 2” spring for nonQV Stelvio models. I called to ask about them. Low-and-behold, Eric at MADNESS announced a 1.75” spring—DONE. He then spent time with me discussing the nuances of the new springs, the height, stiffness, ride, etc.
Later, we talked about spacers. It seems some people are doing 17 mm all around. Those pictures seemed too far in front and left me wanting more in back. With Jeff’s recommendation I did 20 mm in the rear and 15mm in the front.
Buying, pricing, shipping, salesmanship were awesome. I had the new equipment very quickly.
Work was done in Bellevue,WA, at Cantrell Motorsports. Once again, I can’t say enough. They killed it. Thanks to Jeff and (I hope I remembered this right) Justin, my tech. They did the lowering springs, spacers, changed out my winter tires for summer, and the new alignment.
As promised, the ride is firmer. Each mode on the dial is one setting firmer. I think the handling is slightly better. That is hard to tell. The height is PERFECT. The spacers are PERFECT.
Here are some pictures.
