Saprissa has the H&R coil overs i believe with AMG sways.
I just have the AMG sways on mine, and I really like them alot. In all of my research before I installed the sways, I still prefered the OEM factor of the AMG sways.

Search for a comparison between the thicknesses of all of the available bars. I believe that Lynn was the one who posted them.
I've got the Eibachs, which are much thicker than the AMGs; did mine at the same time that someone else was doing the AMGs.
I like the handling with the Eibachs; feels much better in corners - it all depends on what you want out of your car, as far as handling goes.

one of the early sway-bar threads back in 2003 here, had a good detailed run-down of the different Sway Bars available, with side by side measurements, and % stiffness of one over the other, all compared to stock.

My car has the Eibach "torsion bars" as the germans would say. I really like them.
I don't know if anyone had this problem, but the urethane bushings they gave me with the bars were styled after the AMG mounts. The stock ones on my car wouldn't work at all - they allowed the bushings to come out of the mount. But it was an easy and cheap fix, I just had to buy the AMG mounts and that was that. They were maybe only 8 dollars each.

I found these on Ebay. Are these crap?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...91412641QQrdZ1
I also found a set of Eibach for 370.00 shipped from another site, I thinking I might get these. Any other suggestions? Thank you all for the help.

You get what you pay for. I'd stay clear.
call evosport and get recommendations straight from the pros.
Find out what works best for your car, and what ultimate goal you are trying to achieve. How it works with stock vs upgraded/tuned suspension kits, etc...
Do your homework, before you buy online.
