I have installed Koni's on mine. I retained the stock springs because the 
car scrapes enough driveways as it is, let alone on a snowy road.
The Koni change was miraculous!
I bought them through Alfa Ricambi in Glendale CA.
I would like a little more stiffnes though.
My two cents worth.
I also have a Peugeot 505 that was transformed by the Koni's.
Good luck
