The Novitec Sport Spring Set is a precision-engineered suspension upgrade designed to enhance the stance and handling of the Ferrari Portofino and Portofino M. By lowering the vehicle's center of gravity while maintaining the refined ride quality of a grand tourer, these springs offer a "wedge-shaped" aesthetic that perfectly complements Novitec's staggered 21/22-inch wheel combinations.

Engineering & Performance

• Optimised Lowering: This set is designed to lower the Portofino by approximately 30mm to 35mm, significantly reducing the gap between the tyre and the wheel arch. This provides a more aggressive, grounded silhouette without compromising the car's ability to navigate everyday road conditions.

• Compatibility with OEM Dampers: Unlike generic lowering kits, Novitec springs are specifically calibrated to work in harmony with the original Ferrari suspension. They are designed to be a direct fit with the factory shock absorbers, ensuring that the vehicle's structural integrity remains intact.

• Sharper Handling: By utilizing a progressive spring rate, Novitec improves the Portofino’s turn-in response and reduces body roll during spirited cornering. This creates a more connected driving experience, providing better feedback through the steering wheel while preserving high-speed stability.

Model Specific Fitment

To ensure flawless integration with Ferrari’s electronic chassis systems, Novitec offers two distinct versions of the kit:

• For Cars WITH Magneto Dampers (SCM) - Article No: F5 333 03: * Specifically tuned for vehicles equipped with the Magnerheological Suspension Control.

  • These springs are engineered to maintain full functionality of the factory damping modes (including "Bumpy Road" mode) without triggering sensor errors or interfering with the ECU’s real-time adjustments.

• For Cars WITHOUT Magneto Dampers (SCM) - Article No: F5 333 04: * Tailored for the standard passive suspension setup.

  • These springs provide a fixed, sport-optimised damping characteristic that enhances the car's mechanical grip and aesthetic profile.

Technical Specifications

• Application: Ferrari Portofino (2017–2020) and Portofino M (2021+).

• Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile, chrome-silicon steel for maximum durability and resistance to "sagging" over time.

• Finish: Finished in Novitec's signature yellow coating for easy identification and corrosion protection.

• Weight Reduction: Optimized design contributes to a slight reduction in unsprung mass, further aiding suspension reactivity.

Installation

• Professional Fitment: A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory following installation to ensure the Portofino’s precise handling geometry and tyre wear are maintained.

• The "Full Lift" Upgrade: For owners concerned about ground clearance after lowering, these springs are frequently paired with the Novitec Hydraulic Adjustment Kit (F5 333 02), which adds a 40mm front-axle lift at the press of a button.
