How many people are lowering...

So how many are lowering the 458s? I have seen a few and they look like they need to be lowered an inch or so. I saw one today the guy lowered the front for me and it still looked low.

That's the first thing that stuck out to me when I first saw them. They have too much wheel well gap, especially with the thin five spoke wheels.

Is the suspension supposed to be adjusted? I would wait until the Challenge came out and use that as a guidline. This is one car i would not want to mess with the suspension geometry. Although the slightest drop and some wheel spacers would probably make a big difference looks-wise.

I thought the same thing this morning. There was a 458 (Swordsman?) at C&C today in Irvine, and the wheel gap was huge. Lowering would make a big difference in looks.

I don`t own a 458 but I`d have mixed feelings concerning a drop

the electronics and suspension setup actually work together perfect and I would not know how a drop with interfere with all that

but as you said...a drop would look hot - for sure
