    I know there are lots of lowering posts on here, but looking specifically for cars with the optional front lift lowered on oem coil’s. I know this can be done but you can’t adjust it down quite as low as without the front lift option. And there are also people that I’ve been told it can’t be done at all, which is not true.

    Just looking for some photos to see if the minimal drop made enough of a difference and if owners are happy with the look they got from the minimal drop.

    I lowered my 458 Italia 15mm in front and it looked terrific (much better than stock).

    Originally, I had intended to do 20mm at all four corners. However, after seeing how nice the car looked with just 15mm less in the front, I didn't even bother doing the rear. So a little can make a big difference. I lowered the car myself on the stock springs; I'd think even with the lift kit, you should be able to get away with 15mm lower.

    Thanks. Good info. Was also trying to see how much you can lower with the front lift option. Can’t remember.
