    The front and rear diffusers on my F8 have scrapped a few times (maybe the vortex generators too). The car looks amazing, rides even better than before, and the minor scrapes can easily be repaired. I'm interested in hearing from someone that has lowered their car without any subsequent scraping issues. I have a lifter so driveways, speed bumps, etc. are no problem. It's a sudden dip in the road that's the problem. I'm specifically interested in the measurment from the lower lip of the wheel to the bottom edge of the fender. The attached photos show how I took the measurements. The front measured 24-15/16", the rear 25-5/16". I greatly appreciate your support and feedback.

    I did the same thing to my 22 f8 spider. I went back to the deale right after scraping the car on the way out and i asked them to raise the novitec spring by half an inch/12mm both on the front and back. they are perfect now

    I was scraping pretty badly the day I left the dealer (mainly in the rear), so I took it back, they raised the rear 8mm and it made a huge difference. I still scrape lightly occasionally but only on heavy compressions. I'd recommend raising it a little.
