    Problem is, the only thing available brand new on that list is the rear sway bar :). You can certainly try though.


    Apparently, someone bought the NOS Fiorano/512TR rear springs. Someones been reading my posts :).

    … and there you have it folks. The last brand new F355 OE Fiorano rear spring set left in the world. They are made by Eibach (commissioned by Ferrari. Not available from Eibach), just like the standard springs. It’s progressive profile is clearly shown. Now it’s time to do some testing :).

    Regarding sway bar bushings, I believe Energy Suspension has proper replacements, but I’ll have to double-check.

    Comparison with standard springs (far left and right)

    Manufacturers:

    Fiorano Front - A. Cagnola Monza
    Fiorano Rear - Eibach (Germany)

    Standard Front - Eibach (Germany)
    Standard Rear - Unknown. Has brass ring around coil with part number. Most likely same as whoever made the sway bars.


    Ferrari was all over the place when it came to choosing who to use to produce springs.

    Fiorano rear springs. At the highest points, with the set I received, one spring is noticeably a few mm higher than the other. Fronts were pretty close in height. These are all new, never installed.

    Might call first to see if they're equipped to make splined bars.

    Probably because the front bar is splined.

    There is some discussion of running the rear bar being adequate, but I don’t have the experience to comment on that.

    T.W.S made splined bars for the 360, so they definitely can.

    I would say it's the other way around. The front needs more roll stiffness on the 355.

    For those who have FHP, are your brake pads yellow front and rear or front only?

    From memory, but I'm pretty sure the front and rear references on the service data sheet are exclusively Pagid Yellow all around, a little more abrasive than Ferrodo.

    Yes, a friend had put some on the original discs of his 355 and... too much abrasive
