    What advantage will the Novitec springs offer? I talked with my dealer and the service department mechanic and because of the GPF the valves cannot be pinned and permanently open...
    Congratulations on the F8!

    Didn’t think a VIN was generated until chassis assembly, status 20? My car is stuck at status 50 last I checked...... See if things open up on May 3rd as currently scheduled, then Ill see where I’m at again.

    So, Novitec springs allow you to lower the car up to about 2 1/2 inches. Looks fantastic lowered. As far as the exhaust, my car is at the dealer as we speak having the valves pinned open. They quoted me $800 to do it and confirmed that it can be done. We'll see...

    Anxious to hear as my dealership said it can’t be done. Would love to hear your dealership is right.

    That's great they are doing it as if it doesn't work they should also refund the cash, fingers crossed it works out great

    Got a call from my service manager asking for payment for opening the exhaust valves. I said, “so you were able to do it?” He said “piece of cake, why?” I just laughed...

    Thank you. Are you saying that they opened them up and disconnected the wires?

    What that's amazing, hopefully stays working and all other commitments saying it couldn't be done was just doom mongery

    Stopped at my dealer today and he reached out to Bill (he knows him). My guy is still convinced this is going to cause an error when you drive it but is waiting for Bill to call him back......... So hope your guy is right!
