    Hello to all Tifosi.

    I've ordered the Challenge front sway bar for my normal F430. However, I just realise that the Challenge front sway bar (#179776) doesn't fit the normal sway bar mount.

    Challenge Front Sway Bar mount: #181467
    Normal F430 Front Sway Bar mount: #20-36-07

    May I ask that whether the Challenge Front Sway Bar mount could fit the normal F430? Given I saw there are 2 screws (#38 in Diagram) is tighten to somewhere, am I safe to order the front sway bar mount or any parts I should order as well?

    Thanks!

    Did you order the bushings to match (#26)?

    I did order the bushing. But the new bushing is too small for the original mount, as shown in the first pic below.
    Thus, my original plan is to order the Challenge sway bar mount to fit the bushing and bar.

    However, as you can see in the second and third diagram, the 2 screws position for the mount seem different for both Challenge's and normal F430's mount.
    (The 2 screw position in the normal F430's sway bar mount is narrower than the Challenge's one, which shows in the diagram below with the actual photo of the normal F430's mount taken below)

    Just one more photo to add on my query. This is the current normal setup in the F430 Spyder.

    As you could see that the 2 screws of the front sway bar seem tighten up, it seems that if I change the Challenge's sway bar mount there would be no way for the sway bar to tighten up on as the screws' position are different.

    It would be great if any members could give me some clue on it

    You require the billet clamps and IIRC also the rose joint drop links.
