Do you think I lowered my Ferrari too Low? (Pics) - GoFuckYourself.com

Semi-Retired-Dave · 09-14-2009, 11:16 PM

It rides ok, about another inch and I start taking out Reflectors on the Freeway.
Why can't I just leave the suspension alone. Started with my 77 Pinto when I was 15 and now every car I get my hands on. Either Monster Truck too high, or Slam everything to the floor. When do I grow up.

Deej · 09-14-2009, 11:17 PM

yea, thats a bit lame imo

more harm than good will come with that...

Rick Diculous · 09-14-2009, 11:18 PM

Your ride looks sweet man!!

magmamoose · 09-14-2009, 11:21 PM

looks alright, i don't see the point in slamming a Ferrari though...

Semi-Retired-Dave · 09-14-2009, 11:21 PM

What happened to the second pic? That was strange. It was gone for second. I thought maybe it was the size of the image.
Oh well.

I buy cars to enjoy them, not to resell them. I'm not the type of guy that will park it
so I don't put miles on them. I abuse them and drive them like its suppose to be driven.

Well, I cut and pasted the URL so I could see the second pic, and it doesn't look like you could take it anywhere that has speed bumps.

Too low, speed bumps will ruin your car.

NetHorse · 09-14-2009, 11:28 PM

How did you lower it? Adjustable coilovers? Got something to protect the oilpan, did you check your tires to make sure you aren't rubbing the inner fender walls over bumps?

It looks great, so no I don't think it's too low.

3inch suspension drop, no protection on the oil pan. And made sure tires don't rub.

I agree, it is definitely abuse. Because when you feel the scraping and the pounding it gets on the pot hols and the driveways, it's abuse. Maybe in a year or so the Cash for Clunkers comes back in business and I can trade it in (If they give me $4500.00 for it)

no, lower it more

2MuchMark · 09-14-2009, 11:41 PM

First, Beautiful car!

Next, I know "Practical" isn't the word you would normally associate with a car like that, but it applies anyway. Here's why. Your car is too low. The only place you can enjoy such a low ride like that is on a perfect highway with perfect turns and no cops or other cars to slow you down.

Most of the time you're driving your baby on "typical" streets. You know the shit that passes for typical: Pot holes, debris, cracks in pavement, garbage, you name it.

As soon as you try to take your car up the slightest hill, you will not only scrape whats underneath, you'll wreck the front and back bumpers because they'll drag on the concrete of course. I don't know what a paint job for a car like that costs, but I'm sure its insane.

It's obvious you love your car, but really you won't be able to relax enough to enjoy it like that (at least I woudn't). If I were you, I'd take more pictures, drive it around 1 more night and show it off, and then get it raised to an inch or so below factory. Yes high speed perfect universe turns won't be quite as much fun, but the rest of your drive will be a little more fun than they are now.

STUNNING car.. congrats!!

Thank you,
Actually, I just sold the CyberAge Lambo and that car was even lower. I don't mind the scraping of the bumpers and the bottom. But this car feels like a Go Kart. It's just a fun everyday thrasher. But for long trips and take my Audi.

I was going to see if I can get it up to Willow Springs and run it on the track. I just don't trust the rims and tires that are on there. But we'll see.

gecko · 09-15-2009, 12:31 AM

Better watch out for speed bumps

VeriSexy · 09-15-2009, 01:26 AM

Maybe a tad low.

shimmy2 · 09-15-2009, 01:47 AM

doubtful you will scrape the oil pan with any midengine car, even if it is sitting on its nuts. it looks like it will bottom out on a piece of paper with that ride height, but have fun man

Adult-biz · 09-15-2009, 02:01 AM

Fantastic looking machine - congrats!
Personally though, I feel some things are best left alone.

closer · 09-15-2009, 02:19 AM

A Ferrari is a jewel and needs no lowering imo

JD · 09-15-2009, 02:45 AM

there's an old school one for sale in my area lmk if you want it and i'll give you the guys info

looks like that ^

spankmo · 09-15-2009, 03:57 AM

nice ride, but better stay put of our town.. speed bumps here are 20 cm high and 60 cm wide..

bdld · 09-15-2009, 04:34 AM

it's just right, too far is when the top of the wheel hides inside the body of the car

Jon Oso · 09-15-2009, 04:37 AM

Honestly, it's almost low enough as far as wheel gap goes. Maybe a different wheel with the correct offset will help with how low it is.

Then again they look like 20" rears and 19" fronts so you're kinda fucked on making them bigger and I doubt you could fit a taller sidewall tire on it.

Great looking car though, nice to see someone modding it other than doing the regular oil changes and repairs. As long as there's no rub I would see about doing maybe a spacer for the fronts and rears (super small like 1/8th inch) to have them sit flush with the finders.

Looks good but far too low, I love my low cars too but that just looks like a nightmare to drive. Can already see the scrapes on the skirts. Looks like the rubber is getting low on your tyres too

Dave, I'm glad you're in LA for in Chicago, you couldn't drive that on the roads

Fletch XXX · 09-15-2009, 05:37 AM

nice, yeah La freeways may be alright, but you couldnt drive that in new orleans LOL the brick roads and pot holes would tear your ride up. we ride big thangs down here, big tires, big rims... too low and you asking for trouble around here.

thanks for sharing pics

"my rims up to yo hood"

sittin on 30s down in the dirty!

Bike · 09-15-2009, 05:39 AM

Nice ride! I've already fucked up my front bumper on my 360spid once and it's not even lowered!

What are those side skirts near the front and rear tire? Is that for extra protection or something you added custom for looks?
I've never seen those before.

It must be going for a HUGE price tag....F40's (unless my eyes deceive me) are in short supply, and highly sought after. My uncle owns one.

BestXXXPorn · 09-15-2009, 06:18 AM

Just set it on the frame, hhaahahha

In all honesty I would say it's a bit too low unless you're keeping it on a trailer or a track :P

Glad to hear you drive it like it's made to be driven though... I see too many people driving Ferraris at like 2k RPM and I want to strangle them...

Jman · 09-15-2009, 06:25 AM

LMAO in Montreal I would give you 1 day with that car... Our roads/streets are horrible. You'd get stuck with your wheels spinning but no traction.

Phoenix · 09-15-2009, 06:33 AM

yeah roads here are terrible as well...i guess winter does havoc to roads here.

tranza · 09-15-2009, 07:08 AM

You got a nice ride.

SplitPalms · 09-15-2009, 07:18 AM

The car looks great. Much better than the stock height. Tires fit perfectly into the fender wells.

Who cares about the risk of scraping up a bumper? It's not like you can't afford to get it fixed or you will have to walk to work because your car is in the shop.

I would definitely get rid of those plastic pieces behind your front wheel and in front of the back wheel though. Not only do they look cheap, but they make the car look lower in the middle and higher on the bumpers. I think a nice even height across the entire body of the car will be better.

What Audi do you drive?

Who cares about the risk of scraping up a bumper? It's not like you can't afford to get it fixed or you will have to walk to work because your car is in the shop. I would definitely get rid of those plastic pieces behind your front wheel and in front of the back wheel though. Not only do they look cheap, but they make the car look lower in the middle and higher on the bumpers. I think a nice even height across the entire body of the car will be better. What Audi do you drive?
