Did it come w/ bushings, or do you need to order separately?

 

It comes with the "thinner" bushings that have the 30mm inner diameter to go around the sway bar, but still fit on the body. The end size of the sway bar is the same as stock, and you re-use the old bushings that go on the control arms.

 

Thanks for that F.Y.I. After I get all the unfinished mods done already in progress, I'll definitely consider this.

 

I ordered one. After review of my notes from over the years and the reality of being loose off the corners with the stock suspension, Eibach with Koni suspension, K&W suspension and now Ground Control it seems obvious, to me, I need a big front sway bar. We'll see when it gets here.

Wonderful! If it does for roadracing what it did for autocross, I'm in!
Thanks to the both of you for keeping the flame alive!

 

Well, it's going to take a while to get it, seemingly. I checked if the sway bar was in stock before buying the thing and today I got an email saying it's not and won't be until the 18th.

Sway bar arrived. Finally.

Should take less than an hour to install.

 

Should take less then an hour …… with a helper! Only 8 bolts but darn it, it was a fight to get the bar in. Especially if your on your back in the dark and your light keeps turning itself off. But, it's in.

Any difference in installation on the limited? I don't even remember if mine is the 25mm or what. If I can't get out of owning my crossfire I might as well get back into having fun with it.

 

The same install as far as I know. I'm hitting the track again on the next weekend after some adjustments to the alignment. The bar made my car tight while before the bar it was loose. I hope I made the right adjustments.

What is the deal with the 20mm rear Sway Bar? Its also listed but I haven't read about it here on the forum.

 

So $102 dollars? Is this right? 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK320. #1703260165: Stabilizer bar. Suspension Stabilizer Bar.


Mercedes part number 1703260165

 

I went with the H&R Sway Bars (70769)

Diameter : 30mm
from THmotorsports.com

$267.21

 

Included are today's pictures. Too bad my track day fell through.

 

Please pardon a few follow-up questions. Working on the rear sway bar... so I plan on dropping the differential out of the way and service the fluid (61k miles). Re-enforce the mount points. Anything else?

I' m worried about kicking off the rear aligment and ruin a solid setting right now. I have the adjustable Speedy-benz arm. Thoughts? thx

*working on it right now questions are time sensitive

 

Here is the rear sway bar. $158.00 out the door. Tire Rack has a close out on the sway bar with $100.00 off the retail price.

 

I purchased front and rear in early spring or last year and only installed the front. I started on the rear but soon stopped when I realized I didn't have time to drop the rear subframe. I still have it hanging on the wall waiting install haha

 

This is the NA sway bar pic. I was charged 4 hrs labor but it included the differential service. 1st impressions is that the ride confort stayed the same. Thank goodness. I haven't noticed improvements with my boring driving route. That is an autocross mod anyways.

 

Any updates on this?
