296 THREAD for mods (aftermarket wheels - springs - exhaust - stripes - body kit)

Great idea. Always interested in wheel choices.

 

And in aftermarket exterior CF !! (no wings, just the regular stuff that is 20.000€ when bought from Modena)

 

I plan to just lower it on stock springs (assuming that's still possible with this model) and make it flush with spacers.

Does anyone know if the proper setup is 15/20mm or something else?

 

Asked my dealer, said it’s not possible. Apparently alignment and height adjustment don’t even require manual labor anymore.

 

this is what I wrote one another thread...

21 inch wheels front and rear
21X9.5 ET38 with 245/30/21
21X12 ET35 with 315/30/21

I would advise against both so called "recommended" specs (or springs) from Novitec or any advice or useful help/knowledge from Tag...

I will post more info in the next few days about lowering or spring rates (at least OEM ones).

I intend to drive my 296 as it was intended by Ferrari on and off the track (but not with those wheels of course)

Are those Novitec wheels?
The offsets are off.

 

there are no "Novitec" wheels... they are Vossen's.
I will look tomorrow for the offset numbers. The one I mentioned above were given to me by TAG by email but I did not visually checked them before the install.

 

Here is the final result.
The Novitec springs will need to be removed as soon as I get the custom made ones. if anyone in Switzerland is interested I will sell them really cheap. Same for 2 new Michelin 255/30/21 PS4

I also have measurements for the springs:

OEM:
front at 70kg/cm2 (not sure about the units)
rear at 80kg/cm2

Novitec:
front at 70kg/cm2
rear at 110kg/cm2

Sorry if the units do not make sense. I am no good in physics. But the numbers are correct (the ones measured by the mechanic himself).

Lowering:
I measured from the "flat" ground to the middle of the wheel well..
front: 6780mm
rear: 7250mm

happy to provide more details if I can...

 

Out curiosity, is there a reason you're not lowering it as much as possible on the stock springs?
Or is that been confirmed as not being an option on the 296?

 

with the original gap (especially at the rear) it did not seem it was going to fulfill my goal to just lower it on the original springs. Let alone that I am not clear if that would negatively alter the dynamics of the car to go that route...
at the end of the day, I will order stiffer springs all around...
I am tracking my car once in a while. and when i do so I really push it hard.
OEM springs are a little too soft for me anyway...
