I love the 101's. I had them on my 488 so I'm going to try something different this time. I'm thinking p104's in satin charcoal. Thoughts?
Very nice! I considered the Satin Charcoal as well, can't wait to see it on your car. Be sure to post some pics!
"Had" them on 488... why'd you get rid of it so quickly (or do you still own)? I was considering one of those as well. Great cars, but am not impressed with our local F-dealer. I've been to other F-dealers in Scottsdale and Beverly Hills and was very impressed. My first impression here was horrid, to the point I will likely never buy from them. I've hear they can be disrespectful and you must "kiss the ring", but this was ridiculous... I also did not get that at the other dealers I noted above so think this may be more of an individual issue.

If you are like me (and I expect everyone else on this post that has an idea in mind), then I expect you will pull the trigger on this sooner than later as well!
The GMG's are nice as it does not seem as "aggressively" low as some of the other options. I did not want it to sit too low from an aesthetic perspective. I do have the lift - but find it not necessary 99% of the time if you have the Aero retracted (only "very" large speed bumps and really steep inclines/declines).

Congrats! Would be great if you had some "before" and "after" video to compare the sound. I'm torn here, was thinking Akra - but then at times feel it may be loud enough.
I sold the 488, after only having it about month (purchased in November, put on the road early May). It is a complicated story, but there are three main reasons.
I purchased it as a track car, and it was just okay on the track. Don't get me wrong it is crazy fast, and my lap times were great, but it did not feel fun to drive. I tried a GT3 and fell in love with the feel of the car on the track. I bought a GT4, and have an allocation for a GT3 later this year.
Second reason was that I was simply putting too much milage on the car. Driving to the track was adding 500km's a weekend. As we all know a Ferrari with a lot of milage loses a ton of it's value.
Third reason, my wife would not drive in the car with me (too flashy).
I'm still undecided on the wheels. I might jump back too the P101's.
What a great ride. I have only had it for one weekend, but I'm in love.
HRE's and exhaust coming soon.
I can see why you're in love! She's an absolute beauty and your photography is on point! I wouldn't complain if you just blew up this thread with more and more shots... I have to say, the P104's in satin charcoal are just awesome. Especially with your blacked out look they would provide the perfect amount of contrast, and although the 101 is a classic design, the 104's are just different enough to subtly grab attention. Nice choice! Sounds like you've already got a lot sorted out for your build, but I would love to assist in any way I can down the line. Keep those photos coming in the meantime!
i had techart springs on my 14 TTS, and liked the look better. It messed with ride quality too much though and we have pretty good roads where I live.
i had it put back to stock. I just didn't think the look was worth the driving experience but that is just me.
here is a pic of my car after/before.
I tried two different turbo's with the springs and both seemed okay. Hopefully, I will find the ride quality okay. Guess I will let you know next week.

BTW you ride looks AMAZING!!
Thanks! Forgot to add that I have test driven the '17
Turbo S and felt the stock ride quality was noticeably better than my '14 so that could give you a little extra leeway.
