    I love your passion for stance and making the F355 more modern, the wheel gaps has always been annoying and make the car look dated somehow.

    I am looking for some airlift solution as I go with 20" or 19" wheels, we have terrible speed bumps here

    What are the rates the springs you chose?


    HR springs are progressive (non straight) front and rear. Fiorano springs are straight type, but rear is progressive springs (straight).

    If anybody is interested in doing the same thing I believe the Nitron system is much simpler. Id look into it

    Thanks.

    If you mean airbags, I looked to airlift systems too, but I wanted to keep regular susension on my car.
    So I just added those air cups. For me it is the best solution.

    check page 3, post #28 (you did reply already to that ;) )

    Much simpler? Sure, as he doesn't retain the adaptive suspension. :rolleyes:

    The Roberuta kit is the only lift kit on the market if you want to keep the OEM active suspension. Period.

    Hi Radback, one last thing, could you let me know how long it took you? Its difficult to get a ballpark as most specialists don't really fancy it! Many thanks, Chris

    You mean for the install?
    I prepared all the electric install and air tubes myself, and went to the shop for the suspension swap.
    It took a couple of days there, but the guy were not very fast. I guess a good shop could do it in a day.

    Looks likely I’ll have to take it to a shop as I don’t have the skill levels you have sadly! Should I assume a day for the electric installation & tubes (the bit you did yourself)? So probably 2 full days with someone who’s experienced in suspension etc?

    I guess so.
    I forgot: you must have to machine a couple of shims too.
    So you need someone able to do it with the right machine (this is not something you can do with a file or an angle grinder).
    Everything is explained in the manual delivered with the kit.
