Lowered Ferrari FF extremely sensitive steering HELP

I had a FF with a Novitech lowering kit. I put 30k miles on it both street and track and it was fantastic. I would speculate alignment and possibly tires could improve the steering/handling.

Makes me think I should look into the same with my Lusso which I am not terribly happy with

 

Just curious, have you driven a Ferrari before purchasing your FF? They have quicker steering ratios than other cars. It took me a while to get used to it with my first one.

Also, does the FF have rear wheel steering? I don’t know if this might have an impact, but in the Lusso the rear wheel steering is very noticeable compared to a 911 GT3 (991.2). However, it’s most noticeable at low speeds, and you said your issue is at speeds above 50 mph)

 

FF doesn't have rear steering.

If your tires aren't totally dead, this is almost certainly an alignment issue. Probably wasn't done properly after the new springs.

 

I agree that it is an alignment issue. I lowered mine myself but didn't touch the alignment as I was not sure if I wanted to keep it lowered (live in Colorado so the roads are terrible for a lowered car). After lowering with an untouched alignment I noticed the same as you described with the steering. On some roads it would wander and be difficult to deal with as well. When you lower without an alignment, the car is fighting the front wheels as they are trying to pull the car in different directions due to toe and camber issues. I'd say you just need an alignment.

My tires were already worn when I did my lowering experiment, so I didn't care that they were wearing faster due to this. I ended up raising the car back to normal height as I got tired of high-centering in parking garages, vehicle entryways and hitting the front lip. Car looks amazing lowered but our road infrastructure in my town is trash. When I raised my car back to factory height the alignment was back to where it needed to be and it now tracks correctly.

Keep a very close eye on the INSIDE area of your tires. If you drive for too long with the alignment like this you will have wear on the inside that could become potentially dangerous. It will look perfect from your view on the outside area, but inside is a different story. By the time I raised mine back to factory height my rear tires wore down to the cords in the inside, but still looked good on the outside. I was surprised how quickly it wore the inside down like that.

 

alignment for sure, suspect you have too much camber at the front.

 

Wouldn't you also have to raise the steering rack when you drop the suspension to bring it back into its neutral position? Asking for a friend

 

There are camber and toe adjustments that would account for that. The steering rack arms have ball joints that allow for up and down movement.
