Just a quick note - this car is actually lowered on Novitec Springs and also has Novitec Spacers courtesy of RStrada. All 458's come off the factory line like a 4x4 (most noticeable in the shot below, incidentally Swordsman's first 458, one of the first 458's delivered in the US over 2 years ago)

wow you're right i never noticed that! looks alot better with the drop. wonder how stiff it is though

Thanks DJ for the feature and nice write-up. And as always awesome pics from Albert, who has been photographing my cars since the days of my first true sports car, 996TT.

Well there's really nothing else much to say about the 458, except that even though I also loved the previous two coupes I had, this spider is just so much more fun to drive! I've never imagined I could be a convertible guy but this car just feels so right to drive it top down! Also, I finally got the perfect ride height that I missed with the previous two coupes, thanks to the Novitec spring kit and great work done by Rstrada, the car now has a much better looking stance and it also drives beautifully!

It's been a real pleasure sharing my passion both in cars and timepieces with my fellow enthusiasts, this is a great community we have here.
