Hi Guys,

A family member has a 675LT and the front spoiler keeps hitting the ground. An ideas if there is a way to higher the suspension to stop this or has anyone else experienced similar issues.

Thanks in advance

ahahhaah , am not sure, as am pretty sure I saw FB post earlier today asking the same thing...

Go slower over speed bumps/use the lift? If pushing on with bumpy roads ahead go slower?? :/

Honestly not a wind up its bottoming out all the time.

Did a drive across Brecon beacons with a 720s not once did that bottom out. 675LT probably around 7 times its defiantly to low.
Had various super cars over the years and never had this problem before. With a new front bumper costing over £10k its no joke and spoiling the enjoyment of the car as to worried to drive it.

A call to a tech at McLaren is in order I think. 675 has the trick suspension so something might be out of whack, I haven't heard from other owners that it is a particular issue.

iirc the 675 is setup with a bit more rake than the rest of the P11 Mclarens and yes the ride height of the car is low full stop. In somewhere like the brecons I have grounded the 12c on some high speed compressions when going at the NSL wink so it's not a surprise you are finding the 675 to do the same although it has considerably firmer damper settings. Perhaps try running it on a firmer suspension mode although I assume you're already doing so on sport as track probably would be far too firm on the road..

Has to be a wind up. He's had multiple super cars but can't work out for himself when a car need to go to the dearer with a fault scratchchin

Worth getting checked out, however the trick active suspension means the car can have both soft ride and anti dive/roll attributes.

When going over high speed bumps and dips, the complaint suspension can bottom out causing the underside to scape.

A number of owners of super series cars have fitted skids plates, such as ...
