NOVITEC Hydraulic Height Adjustment & Sport Springs – Ferrari Roma
Item number: F5 333 02
The NOVITEC Hydraulic Height Adjustment System in combination with Sport Springs offers the ultimate upgrade for the Ferrari Roma's chassis. This system combines the benefits of a sporty lowering with the practical functionality of a hydraulic lift system for the front axle.
The system consists of a sport spring set for lowering and a hydraulic adjustment for the front axle with which the nose of the car can be lifted by approximately 40 mm at the touch of a button. This is an essential feature to navigate obstacles such as speed bumps, steep driveways, and parking garages without damage, despite the sporty lowering. The set retains the functionality of the original shock absorbers thanks to an included CAN control unit.
Key Features
Functionality & Ease of Use:
-
Hydraulic Lift (40 mm): Allows the front axle to be quickly and easily hydraulically raised by approximately 40 mm, making the Roma suitable for daily use despite the lowering.
-
Sporty Lowering: The included sport springs permanently lower the ride height for a more aggressive look and a lower center of gravity.
-
CAN Control Unit: An advanced CAN controller ensures that the original functionality of the electronically adjustable shock absorbers (original damper-adjusting retains) is fully maintained, including comfort and sportiness settings.
Dynamics & Aesthetics:
-
Improved Handling: The lowered center of gravity due to the sport springs improves driving dynamics, reduces body roll, and increases stability in corners.
-
Optical Perfection: The lowering creates an aesthetically superior 'stance' and perfect wheel arch filling.
Compatibility (Crucial Note):
-
Requirement: ONLY FOR CARS WITH MAGNETO DAMPERS (SCM). This system is exclusively suitable for Ferrari Roma models equipped with adaptive magnetorheological shock absorbers (SCM - Sospensioni a Controllo Magnetoreologico).
