Lightbulb Custom Strut Bar Tower & Sway Bar Kit

I'm almost pefectly happy with my suspension set-up for the 2004 Crossfire with the Eibach Springs and Koni Sport Dampers and a -.5 camber adjustment.

The only thing is that I have still experienced some minor body roll on the track which causes some understeer. Obviously I have not been able to find a Strut Bar Tower Kit for the Crossfire, so I have decided to design one and out-source it to a local fabricator. After measurements and CAD are completed, I should take delivery in late January.

Also, for those of you who have been in the market for a Anti-Roll Bar Kit, the only manufacturer that produced the kit for the SLK320, and provided it to Eibach and CTD-Germany, has discontinued the product.

I am also designing that system and am out-sourcing to the same steel fabricator. I have also found a supplier for race quality bushings.

I will say one thing, I should have researched the "LACK OF" aftermarket products before I bought this damn car... Now it is turning into an engineering project.

PS. For those of you still looking at Supercharging, take a look at HPS. I think the website is http://www.myhps.com

The problem we are seeing with this car is that the platform has been phased out by Mercedes and thus the after market providers are not developing product.

We're driving an old car with a new body... Kinda like the women here in Hollywood who spend a fortune on plastic surgery...
