Help! Lowered my car, Novitec springs, Maybe too low? Help?

You would be fine with that drop amount with 20" wheels. Looks like too much for those big wheels, imo. Raise the spring perches 1/2" and realign.

 

Agree with rockit. Your car looks phenomenal by the way. Congrats

 

20/21 + novitec sprints are the right combo if you plan to actually use the car a reasonable amount. 21/22 is great for limited use, parking in front of restaurants, sitting in the garage - but not really driving and certainly not aggressively driving.

 

Of course there is the other school of thought....

Never too low!

 

LOL!!! You have to shave the front bumper bolts in the inner
fender, I will post pics when I get my car back

very best

 

What happens with F1-trac with 21/22 wheels ...error light ?

 

I have 21/22 combo with novitec springs and front lifter. No issues and I drive it pretty hard...

It never rubs under braking. But if I turn the steering wheel max, it just barely touches the fender plastic.

I'm running:
335/25/22 in rear
255/30/21 in front

 

I don't imagine everyone has the same sense of "driving hard" but in my 458 I could get the car to rub going around the carousel with stock height suspension and stock wheels w stock sized tires. Really run that black car and there is no way you'll get back with more than just rims on that thing!

 

Nothing. The front to rear diameter bias is the same. The ABS sensors don't know what the diameter of the tyres are, only how fast the fronts spin in relation to the rears. 235/35R20-295/35R20 and 255/30R21-335/25R22 both have a front to rear diameter difference of about 6%. As far as width goes, the sensors don't know how wide the tyres are, so that does not matter either.

 

Thanks !

 

I take it these cars never see the track?

 

I just lower d the car with the OEM coil overs and have 20-21 wheels.... But think the front looks to tall. When ordering novitec springs ... Are there different models ... Also I have the front lifter as well

 

So depending on the offset of the wheel, you do see a bit of rubbing on the front fender. Its typically just on the inside of the liner. Sometimes with the 21/22 setups you haveto heat up the liner a hair and push it back. Some of our clients have even gone as far as cutting the rear inner side of the liner out if they purchased wheels that are too aggressive, but thats a rare occurrence.

The other thing you can do is just trim the liner right where the fender and bumper meet. There is a small area that protrudes out, i recommend trimming that down a hair as well if your tire is hitting.

But the first thing i would do, is turn your wheel full lock Left/Right and locate WHERE it is hitting. And lets go from there.

To be fair, you would have to search long and hard to find a corner as agressive as the carousel out in the public. Not only is it banked quite heavily, it is also very bumpy.
