Front wheels rubbing on 458 with novitec springs

Too low raise it up and realignment will be needed

 

Do you have photos of your car so we can see how low it is sitting.

Are you in oem wheels or aftermarket.

 

I have the same car and springs and I have no issue. Mine are 235 though, and I didn’t lower it too much, just 20mm, from stock.

 

if you lower it enough with aftermarket wheels with more aggressive offsets, it rubs on the liner. there is a bump where they left space for the bolt that mounts the bumper to the front fender. I have aftermarket wheels AND wide front tires so it rubs pretty good. Either raise it, go back to stock wheels, or modify the liner/mount to make it work.

I wish we had options to get stiffer springs. At the time I considered measuring the novitec springs and getting some eibach or race springs in equivalent but I'm unable to understand what the rates are as a base point.

That said the comfort in the car with the lowered novitec vs. lowered factory springs is night and day. even in race mode the car is super comfortable.

 

Interesting, so the Novitec springs have a softer/nicer ride than the factory springs?

How stiff are the novitec in Race Mode compared to the stock springs?

My car was stock height (4x4 levels) when I first purchased it, then lowered on stock springs, and now with novitec springs. I do not exactly recall the comparison of OEM vs. now but I'd say the comfort is similar. Meaning OEM height/springs are equal in comfort to lowered on Novitec in all modes.
