Lowering GTC4LUSSO or Not

Personal choice. Saves money but you do miss out on the experience. If not just about lowering. The ride quality needs to be maintained. Yes u can lower OEM but the tolerance for soaking up the road is lost. The aftermarket springs are designed for account for these factors. It comes down to budget as well. Not all of us can afford it. It was a stretch for me by adding springs , wheels and exhaust to this car.

i dont disagree with any of that.

 

C'mon, be a pal. Your neighbours would really appreciate you clearing the roads

Very nice setup and is that a Touring Berlinetta next to yours?? Wow! What's the story?

 

Well caught . Yes it is the Touring Berlinetta Lusso 4/5. It belongs to a close friend of mine. The only one which is in the USA . Also the others cannot be used in US. The F12 donor car was bought in California and shipped to Italy. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Need video of your new exhaust setup.

 

Novitec says the dealership must do the Lusso V12 alignment. Could a good performance shop do the alignment or just too hard?

 

GMP installed mine in Novato. They are a Novitec shop. They also did the alignment, however my car went in for service a few weeks ago and my alignment was out and cost be $450 to get it redone by Ferrari. I am not sure if it was not correct from GMP or only Ferrari can do it. But it’s all correct now

Hi Mickey,
Do you feel or think the wheels could have been pushed out just a bit more? I'm looking for a fender flush fitment.
Thanks for helping!

 

Hi ,
I wanted to avoid having to roll the fenders. I specifically had the wheels custom made to that measurement so that I avoid scrubbing the tires on fenders. I feel the way I got it is great and much more aggressive than the factory original without compromising the fenders and risk warranty. Also when I come to sell the car the Ferrari dealers don’t like mods .

Totally agree with you. Rolling the fenders is NOT an option!

If you can take close up pics the show the wheel/fender fitment, it'd be great!

Thanks again and great looking car!!

 

Here are the pictures hope they help

Just picked up an FF and will be using this thread as a reference point as I build out a custom set of 3pc BBS wheels. Thanks Mickey for not only all the close up pics but also getting the offset details! Diameter/width gets posted everywhere but offsets are where the magic happen when it comes to wheel fitment. Much appreciated!

 

I just got my Lusso back from installing Novitech springs. I also have custom AG Lux 21/22 wheels on it.

Love the yellow spring color that you can see from the rear.
Non car wash photo was from Saturday. Car wash photo was 1 day after install (2 weeks ago)
I assume the springs will settle a little more.

no rubbing at all
