Default Re: H&R Sway Bars for 2002 SLK 320 (R170)

Lots of good ideas arnt and you dont know until it proves to be unsuccessful. To save time effort and money, being able to measure and define the parts makes all the difference.

Id love to find a stiffer front and rear bar, but the differences do not seem worth the change over that of an SRT-6

Enjoy, Woody
Agreed, actual numbers make the difference... If I wasn't so sick right now I'd try and look it all up again.

But, basically what I've come to conclude to be the easiest and cheapest way to go about toning down the understeer is:

If you have a Limited by an SRT front sway bar
If you have an SRT buy an H&R front sway bar

For me having both sway bars and the koni's allows me the setup and fine tuning "I" want as I drive in city, country roads and on the track... The way I have it now is nice and crisp to where I get a decent road feel without being too stiff or jarring
