    That looks fantastic! Any problems scraping?

    I have the front lift so I’m sure that helps.

    How much I stalled?

    Novitech is the only springs Boardwalk Ferrari would install and still stand behind their warranty, so I knew their products were highly regarded. The ride is pretty comparable to before, maybe a touch softer, but I need some more seat time to definitively say. Looks wise it crushes the stock stance. Sits lower, sleeker and wider with the spacers. As far as scrapes and bumps, again, I need more seat time but so far around the dallas metroplex and highways I have had no issues, neither with leaving my driveway. The front end of the car isn't that low (like my buddy's GT3) so while i'm sure I'll have some scraping, its nowhere near as bad as his and he deals with it. 1800$ installed with alignment.

    Looks very nice with the Novitec Sport Springs. Ever given thought to Novitec wheels or even other aftermarket wheels that would eliminate the need for those spacers? ​

    Looks great. Once they settle, you may rub some. I rub when I hit bumps at speed. Installed at boardwalk Ferrari too, love those guys.

    Though aftermarket wheels look really nice and have some advantages, I prefer the look of some stock wheel setup in most cases, with the novitec spring and spacer setup. The wheels on the car Matt at Exoticar got me, there factory gold 458 Alerta wheels...
