    Hi all

    I know alot of ppl on ferrari chat have lowered there 458's with novitec lowering spring. Only had mine fitted last week done over 200miles with the new springs on motor and county fast road driving. I was told i could hear some noises until the new springs settle.

    What gets me iv gona many suspension work to my other cars and never came across any noises.

    What I hear with Windows open it a click noise what only happens at low speeds and not all. It sounds like from the suspension area. It doesn't happen at full lock to lock with the Steering wheel aswell.

    I just want other ppl's views on there experience after lowering with novitec.

    Many thanks oz

    It is likely your brake pads shifting. I would check your brakes. It’s happening at high speeds, you just can’t hear it. This isn’t an issue. If you can hear it, it means you’re not driving hard enough.

    Does the click fallow the speed of the tire, meaning the faster or slower you go will the click change accordingly ?

    I had a click and it was the lug bolts being to loose in the rear.

    I don't remember having a click after the install of the novitec springs.

    Yep. Happened to all my lowered cars. Give it a bit for the coils to get seated.
