    I lowered my 2019 using the stock springs. Using spacers on my stock wheels and it makes a big difference in how the car looks. Would definitely recommend lowering at least a bit...

    I’m running them on the newest PZ4. They ride just like stock.

    If going with the Pero GT or other older designs would def get worse ride quality.

    I decided to put the Novitec springs on. I just pulled the trigger. I now need to drive down to LA to get installed. But hey never done a road trip so should be fun driving from San Francisco

    My dealer did it, I believe they used 15mm all around to avoid any rubbing issues.

    You're going to love the Lusso lowered, it looks much better.

    As you're in Cotati, you might look at GMP in Novato for your Ferrari needs outside of the dealer. They did all my Novitec add-ons and numerous other things. You shouldn't have to go to LA for springs, etc. I have a car being worked on by them at the moment. By the way, I have a Novitec spring set for my F12 to sell (on consignment with Ferrari SF), but I don't know if they would fit your car.

    In any event, you should check them out as they're so close by and offer a lot for us car guys - and gals. Jeff, the owner, also has a GTC4 Lusso with some mods and several others, including an F40 or two.

    I checked on the web and it comes up with a body shop. Is that the correct place?

    My Novitec F12 springs were around $2k and installation is not too difficult. I see some vendors have them at $1790.

    There are two GMP buildings. One is the body shop and the other houses Ferrari service and other things like aftermarket/customization for other exotics as well. I think they run their own racing program.

    Congrats on the car, by the way! Nice combo, and low-key.

    Thanks for the congrats . I had a 488 Spider I bought new last year. Traded it in for the Lusso, however I got to place an order for the SF90 Stradale.

    Love the lowered look but no way that works for me on New England roads. I drove it year round and the roads get pretty banged up from the plows.....

    I used to have 22” on my car when I lived in the real England. Use to live in the UK until 2014. However the severe cold would make pot holes and I regularly broke or buckled my wheels. So I hear you.

    Vossen make some quite affordable wheels. However, Vossen are not even remotely close to being in the same league as HRE when it comes to quality. My brother put some Vossen on his Merc, er, tried to anyway, and I have absolutely nothing good to say about that company or their wheels.
    Only manufacture I can think of off the top of my head that comes close to HRE, is Forgeline - or perhaps BBS or OZ fully forged wheels.
    BC Forge is not a HRE, but they are VERY good quality for the price. I'd take a BC Forged over a Vossen or ADV.1 any day.
