    We are all concerned by curb rashes in the bumper but I have been very careful where to bring my cars. I plan it ,sort of, where to go.

    Can someone give us an accurate measurement how low/high the lower edge of the bumper to the pavement? That way, we can measure if it is lower than most of the other cars. I would compare it with my scuderia. I have not rashed my F430 and scuderia so if it is thesame height, I would feel better when I lock my build without the axle lift.

    Thanks a bunch.

    I blew off the lift as I have to think it adds weight and complexity - My Gallardo lift also tended to leak from time to time, too. The front plastic spoiler is replaceable and I consider it a wear item.

    I asked this question recently.... the answer I got was right at 4"....I'm speaking of the bottom of the front lip to the ground.

    The plastic spoiler is secured much better than on a 997....so its possible you may hit/scrape the lip and in turn damage the bumper....this has already happened to someone in Europe....they had to buy an entire front bumper.

    I decided to get the lift.

    I am always nervous about this pneumatic suspension. its no different from cars like Rovers and MBenz. Moving parts will eventually breakdown. its useful but it does not remove the risk 100%. So make sure i preplan where my cars go, i have prevented scrapes.
