i was wondering if anyone has replaced their factory sway bars with aftermarket one? i've noticed that brabus has a set available. any help is greatly appreciated

 

I would be interested in the same info for a C-coupe.

 

Why replace with aftermarket? The C32 bars bolt right up (at least) to a C240/320 sedan. The comparisons are:

Front bar goes from 20 to 22 mm
Rear bar goes from 13 to 17mm

Remember that the change in roll stiffness increases with the change in diameter to the FOURTH power!

I priced the C32 front bar at $69 from an MB dealer. Now, you have to add bushings, links, etc. but the whole thing was about $160 (parts only).

 

thanks for that info on the factory/amg parts, i'll have to look into the prices on that.

 

Does anybody know if the C32 sway bars will fit on the C230K?

 

I suspect that they not only will, but they are already on the Coupe. My brouchure says that thicker stabilizer bars are optional as part of the Sport package on the sedans, but are standard equipment on the C32 and the Coupe. If I had calipers, I'd go out into the garage and measure them.

 

nice
