    I was originally going to install Novitec springs/spacers for the aesthetics but backed out last minute because I didn't want to mess with "Ferrari perfection". However, having had the 488 GTB for about 6 months now, including track time, I do feel that the suspension is a bit "wobbly" and doesn't feel as planted as I want it to. It is nowhere near as stuck to the road as my R8 or a friend's GT3 or another friend's 720S (all of which feel so much more planted around corners especially if there are any minor imperfections in the road). The 488 seems to glide over road elements whereas these other cars are stuck to the road and you feel everything.

    Also, it seems I'm not the only one with this impression...

    Sooooo.....now I'm considering getting the springs/spacers installed after all in hopes that it will make the car feel more planted. Has this been your experience with lowering the car? Does it feel more stiff and planted? Thanks guys!
