    We're only doing 19mm rears ATM, however we may go larger once we see how the 19's are working out. The 550 & 575M already have plenty enough ASB up front for their suspensions unless you're full on tracking your car.

    Here's a link to Daniel @ Ricambi's post for the pricing: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/149012127/ Please contact him to order & thanks for your interest.

    Or other work papers (flight plans and such) that had a real original purpose, but are now a truly useful foundation for something greater!

    He's probably waiting to get them in hand so he can snap a few pics of the kit.

    Bingo.

    (I also get the heebie-jeebies if I am holding customer money too far in advance of the product arriving in my stocks.)

    The first batch of pre-order swaybars have been shipped and will begin arriving to customers this weekend! Although I don't have product photos online just yet, I did use my Dall-E "skunk" image for the MSW bars on our website, and they are available for purchase now:

    (This first batch was a somewhat limited production quantity; if we run out of stock on these, the next batch is probably about 4 weeks away -- late April-ish)

    Love it. I can’t wait to get some seat time in my 456 before trying to see if we can jam this bar in there.

    Just a side question re fitment - is it common for the bolts holding the rear clamps onto the chassis to be welded?

    Guys, I have to apologize for a minor omission in these ASB kits. The “D” bushing clamps for the OEM bars each have one captive bolt/screw that has been welded to the clamp itself (@Timmo it is NOT, however, welded to the frame, ).

    So when the OEM bar and its D block clamps are removed, that captive screw in each clamp will be “lost” for the new bar installation. There still will be one OEM screw per clamp that can be reused, however.

    In my haste to get these kits together and on their way, I neglected to tell my shop to include these extra screws/washers/nuts. Only two of them will be required and I am ordering them today and should have them by early next week and will forward them on.

    To be clear, this has nothing to do with Daniel or Ricambi; this is 100% on me.

    Thanks John for the clarification and sorry for the poor wording - I meant the bolts are welded to the clamps as you described, not welded to the frame.

    @Cribbj - Arrived in California this morning. Looks great! Just to clarify are you sending the additional bolts separately? Thanks for all your efforts putting this all together.

    Anthony, yes, I've now received the hardware and it'll be going out today to you guys, FedEx Express.

    For any of you who are eager to get these bars on your cars ASAP, without waiting for this hardware to arrive, here's what you'll need:

    (2) Class 10.9, bolts, M8x1.00 x 25mm
    (4) Class 10.9 flat washers
    (2) Class 10.9 M8x1.00 Nyloc nuts

    Yes, although this was my mistake, Daniel was kind enough to arrange & pay the shipping for these parts. Many thanks to a standup guy!

    First owner who gets a bar installed & writes about it gets an MSW sticker to put on your toolbox, car, drink cup, GF's derriere, etc.

    I haven’t found the 456/550/575 crowd to be terribly prudish :)

    I’m waiting on an appointment, so I doubt I’ll be the first to weigh in, but I’ll certainly offer a detailed account when the time comes!

    Got mine this week including the extra hardware (while on the road with the girls for spring break).

    love the little sticker amidship.

    thanks!

    I installed my Skunk 19mm sway bar today.
    Easy install but all 4 D block bolts were welded so, a trip to Lowe’s.
    A quick trip up and down the “copperhead highway” aka AL highway 28 out of Leeds, AL( very near Barber Motorsports Park) confirmed to me that the bar is a significant improvement over stock.
    The car now handles like it formerly did in “sport” when in normal mode. It is flatter and less tail happy.
    When in “sport” mode, the improvement is even more obvious with neutral handling. No push, no oversteer in aggressive driving on a good road.
    The ride seems tighter but certainly not uncomfortable.
    A good investment!

    "Easy install but all 4 D block bolts were welded so, a trip to Lowe’s."
    ******
    Are there different "grades" of bolts and nuts? My experience with Lowe's and HD screws and other fixation hardware is that the metal strength is marginal. Good enough for Ferrari suspension?
