Hi, A short question for you F430 owners: Do you feel your F430 is very low in the front? I assume the car doesn't have the lifting system that the Lambos have, but are you missing a lifting system because you scratch your front sometimes if you're not careful? Best regards /Per
Yeah it's low. I dinged the bottom of the front bumper the first time I took it out the driveway. Red paint all over the cement. Now I use ramps to get out. I'm having the bottom of the driveway cut and repoured. It's not expensive to repaint the bumper, around $800 I'm told. Don't worry about it, it's part of the car. You'll find ways to get around it, and be careful when needed.
It is low. I normally have not had a problem, but did hit it once going into a gated community, luckily the scratches were only visible under the car.
Ok, thank you guys. I assume it's the same as with the Porsche 997 Turbo, some planning where you take the car and you'll be fine most of the time. Regards /Per
For me living in Orlando Fl. I find the car not low at all, the other way around, I find it an inch too tall.
it's not nearly as low in the front as the lambos or an F355. I have yet to scrape mine in atlanta in about 3500 miles of use. I too was considering lowering mine. ...but, as I understand it, the US version is higher than the euro-spec.
