Stuttgart Performance: Ferrari F-430 Lift Kit by Novitec Rosso/KW Suspensions

I Wanted to share another KW HLS 2 install. This is the second one we have done in 2 weeks, the other being a Scuderia. Like our clients, we love our cars with a low aggressive stance. Consequently, we run into or drag over obstacles such as steep driveways and even speed bumps. Like many modern sports cars, the F-430 has a long front overhang which only adds to the problem.

The solution is the HLS Kit from Novitec Rosso, which is made by KW Suspensions. Leave it to the Germans to improve an already great Italian Car. The Kit give you over 2 inches of front end lift with the push of a button.

Unlike the Scuderia, the F-430 requires the replacement of the OE Coilovers with KW V3 Dampers built to Novitec Rosso Spec. That’s a good thing, as they are 2-way adjustable dampers (Compression & Rebound) with reservoirs build onto each Inox Stainless Steel Shock Body. Not only do you get the lift system, you also get a much improved suspension system.

Here are some pics as the project is underway…

Great stuff guys! I know there's got to be SO many other Ferrari owners out there who absolutely need to take advantage of this fantastic emerging technology!!

Heck, I may even need to get this setup on my daily driver S4 so I can stop scraping my bumper all over the place.
