    296 looks infinitely better lowered. I’m not brave enough to do it though as I’m already having some minor alignment issues as is, and warranty is taking care of it. Plus I’ve already scraped it more than a few times with the stock ride height…

    Hi,
    I am in the waiting process to get something similar done with mine...
    I went with Novitec spring as well but with 21 all around. would you be able to share the tires specs you have mounted on your wheels?
    It looks great on yours!
    and for the springs, how much did uou lowered it? can you choose?
    thanks a lot...

    Bangkok's a brave place to lower your car! Don't keep any sports cars here - very few places to drive safely and our roads aren't the greatest!

    My Ferrari salesman told me that if I added lowering Springs or new wheels and tires that my entire Ferrari warranty would be canceled. However, in reading the warranty book, it clearly states that only things associated with the modification can be voided in the warranty.

    It's all up to the dealer, and that's the risk you take. They can/will flip/turn anything their way.

    Radio won't work anymore? Must be the wheels and springs. We don't like that. Here is your invoice for $4k.

    That's why we have lawyers.
