    Just taken 458 Spyder out of storage and have been putting a few hundred miles on the car after the summer. However I feel the suspension has become stiffer and rides very hard. Anyone have any experiences, have tried bumpy road mode and any small pot holes or minor regresses in the road feel like electric shocks and high speeds the car seems "bouncy".

    Maybe worth taking the wheels off and checking the shocks for leakage as this is a known issue.

    How long was it in storage could it possibly be the rubber on the tires degraded and got very hard

    Tire pressures could be too high
