    I have a 2020 Superfast and installed Novitec Springs.

    Is it just me, or are the Novitec Springs just not "heavy" enough for the car? Like the spring rate is too soft? The car is lowered somewhat (not slammed) and the bodyroll of the 812 is just simply too much.

    Even driving on a straight road, the car feels too soft. Manetino is in CT off ALWAYS. So suspension is at its "hardest" setting.

    But i feel the car can be a bit bouncy. Like even mid corner, (say 60MPH pretty tight corner), the rear of the car is bouncing a but. Quite unsetteling.

    Novitec springs are too soft i think.

    I didnt get to drive the car with the OEM springs, and i installed the novitecs only days after getting the car, so i dont have much to compare too.

    But has anyone else felt that going from OEM to novitec springs (besides the obvious better looks of it being lower) has been a downgrade?

    No, I don't think that installing them was a downgrade, but the difference between OEM and Novitec springs is more noticeable on the F12 than on the 812 in my opinion.

    Interesting, this is in fact the first time I have heard of this. Might be worth checking the shocks themselves out just to be sure there is nothing going on there.
