F430 Upgrades

[red_duke]

Just had the Scuderia Racing Style wheels and Titanium wheel bolts fitted to my F430. This is an 11% weight saving over standard wheels but keeps the car OEM. I also prefer the colour coordination between these metallic grey wheels, the engine bay vents, the rear diffuser and the front air intakes.

I'm also curious what OEM upgrades other owners are considering now that F430 prices have stabilised?

Looks fabulous.... is there any changes you can feel in tbe steering or chassis as a result of the reduced unsprung weight?

Differences in road texture are more apparent and you really feel it when hitting cat's eyes. Hard to say if the reduced gyroscopic effect is beneficial as I've only driven motorway miles since fitting yesterday.

Can't think of anything else I'd want to do to this car as I've already added:

• CCM brakes
• Remote exhaust valve controller
• Mk II exhaust headers

All very nice.

This is turning into a game of Upgrade Top Trumps. I think Russell is winning so far
