    There are several excellent photographers on this forum. I'm not sure if any live near you but if any are going to be in your area anytime soon, I'm sure they wouldn't mind doing a little photo shoot for you.

    Here are some of the best US photographers who are members on FChat. I'm also a photographer but I can't compare myself to these guys.

    Looks great Mike, but does it make you miss the CS even more?

    No the power and creature comforts make up for anything I missed. Well except the CS brakes. Damn it, I got stock brakes!!!

    My 430 spider also came with the steel brakes and I also missed the big brakes from my CS. So I intalled a Brembo GT big brake kit on the front of my spider (aluminum hats, semi-floating rotors) in 380mm size with Brambo's new 6 piston calipers and I'm quite happy with the result - might help you with your brake reminiscing...

    Do they squeek bad?

    $$$=SPEED:

    To your questions, the front brake kit was around $4500 plus paid around $600 for installation. I kept the original stuff with 3k miles on it just in case the next owner wants to have the original stuff sometime in the future.

    No noise whatsoever, certainly none of that grindy noise that the CCM's on my CS made.

    Just a little bit of dust, but nothing annoying. Certainly not the perfect clean wheel situation you get with the CCM's.

    Unexpected bonus was that I order the calipers in red to match the rear Ferrari factory calipers and the match is near perfect. Only difference is that the fronts now say Brembo in white letters while the rears say Ferrari in black - no big deal.

    If you want me to post a photo or two, just let me know.

    You have a very good point but considering I still am making payments on the car $14k - $18K seems crazy. If I owned here outright I most definately would go CS.



    Thanks for the pics of the Brembo's :)

    I really like the green F430 except for the mods they have done to it. The silver Novitec is also nice!
