    If you lowered your car with Novitech springs, don't use the Bumpy Road setting; the car bounces too much and will scrape over dips in the road. Instead use the sport mode without the Bumpy Road setting. This will stiffen the suspension just enough to avoid bounce induced scraping without compromising ride quality; at least none that I can detect.

    I have Novitec springs and can't really tell any difference when using bumpy road mode. I'm ALWAYS in race mode but I'll try sport next time I'm on a bumpy stretch, thanks.

    Where I live the number of speed humps and other “traffic calming” devices are already such hazards on a standard height 488 I can’t ever imagine trying to drive locally with a lowered car
