MSW HGTC & FHP Sway Bars (Finally!)

I certainly hope so!
They are sold as grade 10. should be good.

 

David- That bar should have decreased understeer, not oversteer. Oversteer is not usually a problem with Maranellos unless a lot of throttle is involved or the alignment is off or rear tires worn.

 

Poorly worded on my part. The car is now quite neutral. Neither push nor loose.
Previously, on the track at Barber and set to “sport”, it would push going into turns and I tended to overpower that and it would come out with a loose back end. i
I have only driven the new bar a few miles on the road but that “push in, slide out” feeling is gone.

 

Sorry I didn’t make it clear. I installed it on my 2004 575M.

 

That's Brilliant!

I can't wait to try mine out!

 

Is it usual to find the D block bolts welded on 575s? How did you get them out?

A bit more driving and I’m more impressed. Turn in is much improved
Picture below is (I cleaned) D block clips. You can see welded bolts.

A loose anti-roll bar could do quite a bit of damage, so you can see why Ferrari did it.

 

I’m curious to know what others say about these sway bars?
Turn in improved significantly on my car.
And you say—-?

 

I had the new sway bar installed and I am quite pleased with the results. Tech said everything looked high quality and installation went smoothly.
My 575M already had upgrades of FHP springs, steering ECU and updated shock ECU. Also I have a lower rear ride height, 25 mm rear spacers and alignment. Everything now is extremely balanced and feels stiffer but not at all uncomfortable even in sport mode. Handling is flatter and a little more tendency for rear to step out when provoked especially on bumpy surfaces, but easily managed and fun to drive. Thanks @Cribbj for putting this together!

Does the aftermarket suspension upgrades "reproduce" the factory installed FHP handling or is it better?

 

Reproduce in my opinion as a neutral 3rd party. It’s thinner but of much higher quality material than the oem FHP rear bar.

 

Quick update for folks who are on the waiting list or didn't have a chance to get one of these in our initial batches... Another batch of MSW sway bars will be arriving in our facility on Monday, 12 June. If you want one for this summer, please order it now --- we likely won't see more for several months:

Mine is going in next week

 

I had my suspension light go off this weekend after installing, any way this could throw off the actuators?

 

Not connected. The bars are not linked to the suspension system

 

It did go back off, we will see what happens! Thank you for the prompt reply. The car does feel more planted and solid with the new bar!

I've changed the shops, added the FHP front springs and now the bar and it is completely different.

 

I thought FHP springs were NLA

 

They are nla, but periodically factory makes or contracts a batch. A few years ago we were able to get them from scuderia car parts. I believe on another recent thread another fchatter was able to snag some.

 

FHP front springs only will make her understeer more. Adding the MSW ARB will make her understeer less. If she still pushes, you need to add the rear FHP springs, if any can be found.
