    No, but I can tell you that the "swivel hook" style that I use on my motorcycles works just fine on my Ferrari. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was a whole lot less than the prices you show. Plus, you only need one to fit a reasonably wide range of nut sizes.

    Are you sure the nuts are different diameters? I don't guarantee this without looking, but I'm pretty sure the ones on my 360 are the same diameter, just different thickness.

    Hint: When you get ready to turn these nuts, put a spring compressor or two (if you can fit them) on the spring to remove much of the preload.

    Yes, the top ring is larger than the bottom one.
    Here are pics of front & rear coils on my friend's F430 (sorry it's really dirty, the car is used for muddin) :)

    That is the dirtiest set of Ferrari dampners I have ever seen. You need to get your friend some serious help.

    Those guys don't deserve a Ferrari.
    Please tell them to sell and buy a Lamebo please.

    All the lower vids and DYI steps are gone. I'm new to the site, but it seems like there was been a purge of threads recently. Anyone care to give some background?

    I did a whole article on lowering the 360 (same for 430) about 10 years ago.

    Have to look it up to verify the correct wrench

    Very simple procedure

    You will need plenty of WD-40
