    Hi all

    I am enjoying my 612. More and more as time goes on. A wonderful piece of work. Question - I was wondering if suspension can be stiffened - not lowered perse. I find the car undulates a bit but also I've scraped the middle of the car (underside) when coming out of an underground garage just where the end of the incline meets the level road. Part of that is because of the long wheel base but I 've only scrapes under load. Driving by myself no problem. In any case a bit stiffer suspension would be nice.

    Wondering if it can be adjusted. Not looking to install a suspension kit. Many thanks for thoughts in advance.

    If you find the car undulates too much, this is because there is not enough damping from the shocks. Stiffer springs would exacerbate this problem. One of the optional suspension specs with stiffer springs and more damping would likely solve both your problems.

    Is it too soft in Sport/F1-S, too? A simple solution is to add the HGTS/C springs and rear anti-roll bar, a proven solution since the 612s are not underdamped. The shocks are only adjustable for stiffness using the Sport/F1-S modes.
