I'll do it tomorrow morning, when I'm packing up the car. But, even if I get different measurements, I'll probably just say that they're the same as Kleemann's, if only to end the debate.

Just re-measured, and got a different shirt totally dirty. Bob, you'll pay!

OK, like Kleemann, I got just a touch over 20mm front, but about 14.5mm rear (about 1mm difference between me and him - no biggie, and I'll believe him first). Either way, they're both too damn small, so upgrade is coming soon.

Do you guys think that the handling will be significantly increased with the replacements of the C-coupe's front and rear anti-sway bars with those from the C32 AMG??

Would replacing both anti-sway bars upset the balance of the stock C-coupe's handling??

I'm thinking of replacing both the front and rear anti-sway bars with those from the C32 AMG and I was wondering if there would be noticible increase in handling.... or would the handling be negatively affect..??

thanks for any insights..

The car will have slightly less body roll and less understeer. The front C32 bar is 46.4% stiffer, and the rear bar is 129.5% stiffer.

If you've read the other sway bar post you'll see that many are just replacing the rear to balance out the car, less understeer. The rear sway bar and bushings cost me $89 including tax at the dealer but the idiots order me a coupe bar instead of a C32 bar.
