Pista Lowered on Novitec Springs

Is there anything specifically different about the Novitec spacers over say H&R?

 

I went to measure a stock pista at Ferrari and the difference in height front to rear was 12-16mm (L to R variance) the rears sitting higher than the fronts.
I applied 13mm to my set up and lifted the rears 3 turns to get it perfect.

I also didn’t slam mine and the total drop now from the factory setting is 18mm down and it looks perfect to me. I have the novitec 22/21 NF10 wheels coming next week so don’t want it lower

 

Those are large wheels and will fill the gaps

 

Did you get the car corner balanced and ride height adjusted? Pics of after the work? Thanks!

Looks great. Did they give you ride height number…measured front points on the frame and corner balance numbers? Also what alignment numbers did you go with?

I ask this because I did Novi springs too and a slightly more aggressive than street alignment and right height numbers would be cool to know compared to stock height numbers.

 

This was measured from top of rim to fender

Standard
FL 110 FR 110
RL 126 RR 122

Difference Rear to Front
16mm. 12mm

Current
FL 92 FR 93
RL.105 RR 105

Wheel alignment was done but I didn’t get the measurements. I will redo it this week with a good set up guy. What settings did you go with?

You measure from top of the wheel rim to the fender? Just want to make sure. Also is the stiffer spring rate in the front or rear of your pista?

Yes from top of wheel rim to fender. That’s mm.

I think they are stiffer on both as the main spring is shorter. The ride isn’t harsh at all and I drive it in harder race setting all the time.

 

So I got another pista with 170km on it in the colour I wanted Cana De Fucile

didn’t go with the novitec springs this time as I don’t like very slammed look (i obky dropped mine 17mm with novitec) and adjusted down the OE 5mm within factory allowance along with Novitec 21/22 NF10 wheels

feels and looks fantastic….

Did corner weights on the grey car and adjusted the stick at pings down around 11mm front and 5mm rear. This is the result and it’s phenomenal

My Pista is currently getting its annual. I had them take a look at the ride height and alignment. It’s pretty costly to have them tinker with the ride height. Should I have them make any adjustments?

Yes but they need to turn down the fronts as much as possible and same with the rears. Give them my measurements and tell them to do that exactly. The rears require them to take the shocks out and heat them up as there is a lock tite that prevents the perches to turn. Once that’s sorted you can get them down around an additional 5mm (three turns)

You want 15mm differential from rear to front ride height
