    Has anyone attempted to find a solution to adjusting the ride height? I'm not a fan of wheel gaps the size of my fist! :D

    Anyone have pics of a Boxer with the adjustable shocks/struts? I like boxers but hate the huge rear wheel gap. Acceptable on a Mustang maybe but not on a Ferrari...

    Only one fist? You must have a large fist!

    Either adjustable coil overs as Newman said, or install 32 inch diameter truck tires to fill them in. :)

    LOL! You're probably right ... more like TWO fists! :D

    Anyone have a specific application (brand and model # of coilover) that would work on a BB512?

    Carobu offers new adjustable Koni's, or can convert yours to adjustable.
    http://www.carobu.com/html/razzo_rosso_parts.html
    New shocks are about $500 each, and I don't know the price for converting yours.


    Eibach can supply springs for less than $100 each.

    Then just set her down as low as you want, and take her in for a major wheel alignment!

    If Ron doesn't post a pic of his car, I have some on my other computer that I can post tomorrow.
    His looked fantastic sitting so low, but with the long front end overhang, driveways, etc will be a challenge!
