• F5 458 30 Hydraulic lift system including sport spring set

The Novitec hydraulic height adjustment system is the ultimate solution for Ferrari 458 Speciale owners who want to combine maximum performance with daily usability. The 458 Speciale is known for its low center of gravity and sharp handling, but this can pose challenges in practice with speed bumps, parking garages or driveways. This system solves that problem without negatively affecting driving characteristics.

Functionality and Technology At the touch of a button, the front of the car can be raised by 40mm. This provides the necessary extra ground clearance to safely pass obstacles. As soon as the car reaches a speed of 80 km/h, the vehicle automatically returns to its original ride height for optimal aerodynamics and stability. The system comes with a CAN control unit that communicates seamlessly with the car's electronics.

Retention of Original Systems An essential advantage of this Novitec set is that the original factory shock absorbers are retained. The electronic damper adjustment (the 'Manettino' settings) also remains fully functional. The set also includes a specially developed sport spring set that gives the car a lower center of gravity and further sharpens handling, perfectly matched to the hydraulic mechanism on the front axle.

Key Features Ease of Use & Safety:

• Front Lift: 40mm extra ground clearance on the front axle at the touch of a button.

• Automatic Control: Speed-dependent lowering ensures that the car is always in the correct aerodynamic position at higher speeds.

Handling & Stance:

• Sport Spring Set: Provides a subtle lowering of the vehicle, which improves both optics and cornering behavior.

• Comfort Retention: Ferrari's active damper control remains active, maintaining the balance between comfort and track stiffness.

Technical Specifications

• System: Hydraulic height adjustment front axle + spring set for the entire car.

• Lift height: +40mm on the front axle.

• Control: Includes CAN-bus control unit and interior switch.

• Application: Specifically for the Ferrari 458 Speciale.

Installation Due to the integration with the hydraulic system and the CAN-bus electronics of the Ferrari, installation by a certified specialist is necessary. After installation, the car must be realigned to ensure the perfect steering geometry of the Speciale.
