    The 550/Barchetta sit a touch high for my taste. Has anyone considered or has already lowered them. If so, by how much. I would assume this would be a pretty easy process similar to the 360/430s.

    TIA

    Hmmm... I believe the Fiorano package (which you said is on the car you're looking at) is lowered a nice amount in sport mode. PM JSUIT, he's got it and I KNOW his car can get very low. :)

    Hi Joe..........yes this particular car has the Fiorano package...........but still looks like a 4X4 lol

    I think just to sit it down 10-15mm would do justice to the cars esthetics. Such a powerful "low slung" roadster should not look like its "wearing" highwaters. ;)

    I know what you mean. Hmmm... you could go all-out and do Novitec coilovers, which are adjustable. Otherwise, I'm sure someone could point you in the direction of a spring that will drop it down a bit.

    Not looking "slam" it too the ground. I'd like to just tweek the esthetics a touch without altering the driving dynamics.
