    Do I need to order the front suspension lift package on the new FF?
    Have no problem with the 458 but it seems that the FF front is a bit lower
    Thanks

    I don't own any 458 or FF but I can tell you my experience with 458/FF protos or S1/S2 (pre-production cars)
    The max slope angle (give by front overhang and ground clearence) is almost the same for 458 and FF. The Problem with the FF is the ramp angle due its longer wheelbase (in cmpariosn to the 458).
    For this reason the suspension lifter option come on both Front and Rear axle (not only the front). Without F/R lifter we will be never be able to enter in our workshop with the FF ...so I strongly suggest to you to order the car with this option to make the car really 100% usable.
    Cheers

    I have it on my 458 and to be safe have ordered it for my FF. On the 458, I have used it occasionaly to deal with the many speed bumps in our part of the world. Will have a better idea if it was necessary for the FF when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

    I was told that the FF without the lifters is higher as standard then the FF with the suspension lift in low mode...

    Thank you for your answer.
    It is a $10k option which I hope I do not need...

    Depends where you live.

    If you get a lot of snow the lift is a useful option... It is standard on Swiss spec cars
