    hi everyone.

    i m new to the forum. recently i just installed the novitec springs on my 2011 458 . the front ride fine but the rear ride really rough ( i only lowered the car about 25mm or so, theres still about 1.5 finger gap between the wheel and the fender) however everytime i drive by any pavement thats a little bumpy the rear will just make it " boom" like a harsh landing. kinda feel like the rear shock is bottoming out.

    anyone ever have this problem before or anything that i m doing is incorrect. i only use the bump stop from the novitec kit , is the oem bump stop also required to be installed with it ?

    appreciate any sugguestions , please help .

    thank you so much guys and have a good day

    You could have lowered the car on the adjustable spring perches that came with the car.

    So there had to be some other reason to put different springs on the car.
    So what are the specs of the old springs (spring rate, preloaded length, fully compressed length) compared to the new springs?
