awesome info. thanks Road
I'm about to order Bonoss spacers for my Range Rover. I was unsure of the company as well, but a good friend has installed many many sets (over several years), no issues, says they are legit.
Looks awesome [emoji108] what's the wheel size? Sent from my SM-S906U using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Nice improvement! How much did you lower it on the Novitec springs? I’m trying to decide between lowering about 1/2 “ / 15mm on the factory springs or going the Novitec route.
Not sure how much I had it lowered, but I wanted to retain enough height for road dips, etc. I hear that lowering the stock springs can make the ride harsher.
Yes same boat here, with no lifter and I certainly don’t want to start scraping the nose or tail. Seems like 15 mm is a pretty good compromise.
LOL! I have the lifter, as it's necessary in some daily circumstances where I live. The rear... I've given up on, and keep a can of flat black spray paint in my garage that the dealer recommended, which matches the rear diffuser. I trashed a second diffuser in short order when the car was too low, and the original one was in better shape to fix. Play and pay...
......or, a crazy thought, leave the f'ing car alone! It's perfect from the factory that builds it lol... and you can drive and enjoy and it stays looking beautiful without damage -- I know, I'm insane.
Looks a lot better just slightly lowered. The Novitec springs are just slightly stiffer and help with road bumps from scraping and the car will hand.e great as well.
disagree. Looks and performs best the way Ferrari made it. Some ricer company can't make it better. But I understand it's just an opinion about the looks. ( I don't mind the lowered look if lowered a little bit-- not SLAMMED like a Honda.. but I just don't trust some aftermarket company product and some dude with a wrench to be anything near as good as Ferrari)
Agreed. My 296 looks low enough from the factory that I didn’t touch it. My SF90 is right on the verge of being too high, but I’ll go with aftermarket wheels to address the wheel gap and leave the suspension stock. My F8, however, ‘needed’ to be lowered to look right, in my opinion.
The roads in SE PA are just a nightmare. While many have commented that my car’s stance was perfect (and indeed it was), I just couldn’t live in constant fear of scraping. As such, I had the car raised 1/2”. The car still looks great while my fear of scraping has been diminished (and yes, my car does have the front lift option). Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mind sharing a picture of the spray paint can? Would love to see the brand, paint color code, etc … TIA
Looks like I’m going to go with the Novitec Springs with a minor drop. I spoke to Albert Cook the Novitec North America representative and he said the allowable range of drop from OEM is 10 - 43 mm. So looks like there is plenty of adjustability to close the wheel gaps and maintain ride quality. Seems like a better way to go rather than a minor drop on the factory springs.
So sorry it took so long to post this. I was traveling at the time and was having trouble finding it when I returned home. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great idea I try to buy it from Kent automotive they require an account to purchase, anyone know where I can just purchase online without an account?
Dialing it in after the Novitec spring install, .75” on the rear: Image Unavailable, Please Login Not aiming for a slam job, just close down the gaps to look a little better and uniform. Previous stock height:
Looks great. May need an alignment now and a height re-adjustment after a 1000 miles. I’d avoid using ‘bumpy road’ mode as well to protect your diffuser. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Well here it is: Image Unavailable, Please Login I think this is a little lower than I actually wanted, may end up bringing it up a tad…
I lowered mine about the same amount, but found it was too low. Raised it up about 1/2" and it's now perfect. It just wasn't enjoyable constantly worrying about scraping. All good now, although even now I rarely use the bumpy road setting (too much suspension travel in that mode).
