    Does anybody have a source for adjustable drop links for anti-roll bars on the F430 (Scud)? How about larger diameter and hollow ARBs?

    The Challenge bars are smaller (softer).

    I have Novitec bars (80% stiffer and thicker). These sway bars are Gold, they are no longer made.

    no ARB available for any 360, F430, Scuderia, whether solid or hollow.

    The F430 Challenge adjustable drop links (in my Scuderia as well), are the best choice over OEM. Monoball and very stiff, the stock drop links are weak.

    Even if you can custom made a sitffer sway bar, it won't resolve the lack of suspension travel on the stock suspension. This is why ALMS, FIA GT2/GT3 went with new mounting points.

    No commercial source I know of, so I custom made some adjustable hollow tube anti-roll bars for my 430 Challenge.

    Hi Guys,

    We have alerts in place for forums and we seen the question asked and thought we may be able to help.

    We do sell a range of adjustable links with either 10mm ball studs or 12mm .

    We also do sherical type links but these are Race style only as they can become noisy on the street as they were designed for strength not comfort.

    They have a gold annodised turnbuckle in the middle to alow usually 25mm adjustment in either direction.

    As at this stage we do not know what length of link or ball size we will show a picture of what they look like but bear in mind they come in a range of different sizes.

    We also do bush style links and many other universal products but we are thinking that with this type of car that ball style would be preferred.

    We only make solid sway bars but if you are interested in either of these products or require some more information please email us at [email protected] and we can help in any way to source what you are looking for.

    Here also is a link to the many universal links on our website.Click the part number to view the picture and information about it.

    May be you should let us try, because I was told the factory drop Link causes the a lot f unpleasant clucking noise.

    I don't mind to try it out.

    If you could email us with some dimensions of the link you require we will match up the link if possible and then we can point you in the right direction of where to purchase them as we have dealers world wide now and approve performance centres for fitment.

    I have OEM Challenge adjustable bar end links and they are great.When corner balancing you car release unwanted pressure from the bars and if the car is lowered you can adjust the bar travel better.

    Whiteline is a great brand I have parts from them in another car.

    OEM are insanely expensive you can get all the parts from Pegasus Racing at a fraction of the cost,remember you need right and left threat nuts and turn buckles also some little spacers.

    Look in my threats I think I have good info about this...

    We do get some of that sort of imformation for cars like Subaru,Nissan and popular ranges of cars but as for luxury cars like Ferrari we do not often have these available to develop and getting accurate information can be hard.

    We do most of our R+D work using the actual cars and having the factory parts on hand to compare.
    In this case our R+D workshop is in Australia and which makes it even harder to source these types of cars we are just here to help out with the question asked and if we could see say a picture of the style of link and then get the hole size of the sway bar and the the length of the link we may be able to offer what seems to be a needed replacement.

    The bad thing of solid end links is that they make noise and need some grease service 1-2 year

    Hi ,

    We have solid sperical links but they are race use only and we warn that noise can be an issue.These are not what we are offering or pictured above though.

    Most new cars come with ball joint style links now and they last for years compared to a bushed style.We do have either style available but in this case we believe a ball style link is what would be best suited if they fit

    The ones we pictures and are offering are like OE ball Style links or tie rod ends and they have a small nylon cage and full of grease with a boot over the top so they retain the grease for years just like most ball joint/tie rod applications.

    Larger sway bars, no one.

    Adjustable drop links: F430 Challenge parts, straight fit.

    It seems that no one offers an aftermarket ARB polyurethane sway bar bushing to replace the OEM $15 item, that I can find ?

    I checked both my F430 Spider 33,000 km and my Scud 10,000 km all the bushings/tie rods etc are perfect (the Scud like new still) but the Scud knocks and the F430 not, weird
