My F430 with HRE P40s/lowered in Bahrain

Hey guys, I finally got around to posting. I've got two crappy iphone pics here but will take some proper photos tomorrow.

HRE P40s in Brushed finish.
19" x 8.5" front
20" x 11.5" rear

Lowered to Scuderia ride height and had the corner weights done with me in the car.

The entire car is wrapped in clear film now but will take better shots tomorrow to show you. All in all very happy with the result. (il hamdallah)

All thats left is to order the fabspeed tips and then hopefully I will leave this car alone lol.

I'd go a little lower, tint the side windows, and get Novitec smoked tails with the exhaust.

HOT!! Can't wait for more.

^^^^^ Thank you sir, I'm considering tinting the windows but not sure yet. Also wanna "try" and keep it looking stock. Would love to lower it more but don't want to negatively affect the handling characteristics, so thought scudi heaight was a safe bet, it actually sits about 2mm lower than a scud. Hopefully by tomorrow will post much better pics! Thanks for your comments!

Looks great! The P40's look good on everything though.

You are doing the right thing by not lowering it more. The dynamic down force would be compromised if it were lowered too much. I lowered mine 20MM in the front and 32MM in the back and maintained rocker panels parallel with the ground.

If lowering more on stock coilovers, then yes - it might negatively effect it. But, I would go with something like Novitec or GMG WC springs which naturally sit a little lower anyway, and tighten it up a bit. I am not saying dump it so the wheels are tucked, just flush. But I am a stickler for ride height.

It's so hot regardless, you can ignore anything I say.

Tint would look clean (something like 30%) and probably be functional in your environment. Cheers!
The tinted tails are just an opinion, I think they are hot w/o challenge grill:
