91 euros isn't too much


but i doubt u'd get as much benefit for the w202 compared to the w203 when u install a strut brace....there are no struts.....anywhere on the w202

Yeah. Some physics major on the W203 board drew out a whole diagram for me one time showing that the strut bar on a W202 wouldn't do anything useful. I can show it too you if you'd like.
