Hello Ferrari Community I just purchased my Ferrari 360 and didn't like the ride height. It looks like it's been raised a bit to accommodate a 20" set of wheels. How can I adjust this? Looks like it needs a spanner, it is a particular Ferrari spanner or there's another spanner compatible? Also, how much is the typical charge to re-adjust and align this puppy? I'm in Riverside City, California (Outskirts of Orange County). Thank you.
I don't think there's a Ferrari specific spanner needed, any should do IIRC.. emphasis on IIRC.. When you do lower it back down make sure the toe is correct on the machine and the other adjustments are done via "shims" that are inserted between the A-Arms and the body. You might be best bringing it to a shop locally that has the right alignment tools to do it... I'll be quiet now and let the California guys chime in for a good shop...
I'm no expert but I believe you need to do more than just crank down the strut height to get the stance lower. As Kurt said, there are a lot of alignment settings to say nothing of corner balance to keep the car handling as it should. Of course 20" wheels have nothing to do with performance so maybe it doesn't matter.. enjoy your puppy!
Thank you both for the advice. I wonder how much these job typically cost here in California, specifically Riverside or Orange county. Any recomendations which shop? I called a reputable general tire shop and did not tell what kind car it is. I told them it has stock coilovers. I would like to lower it to spec and then aligment. I was quoted $180 then I ask them any car. Per them, any car. Though I don't the considered Ferrari as their every day any car. Thanks for additional input guys!
west end alignment darrin Nishimoto. He is the best and will take the time needed. It is a hike for you but he is worth it.
