Seems to be mixed info out there re: 430 specs....I've heard wt and height essentially unchanged from 360....also have seen specs showing 430 being 133 lbs heavier and 1" lower than 360. If 430 dimensions essentially unchanged from 360, I would argue height adjustment is not needed. Just got 360CS which seems to have much better ground clearance than previous 360 Coupe and Spider (all used on SF's steep hills)....which in turn scrape far less frequently than SF-incompatible Gallardo....I suspect the 19" wheels of CS give it that extra clearance vs non-CS 360, making it downright commuter-friendly....
The 19" wheels do not make the car higher because the tires aspect ratio is lower, the cars height is unchanged. If anything it's lower. From what I have read the F430 is a tiny bit lower then the 360. Still this should not be a problem due to the cars short nose. The Enzo, and all Lambos have long noses, thats why they need it more.
