Wiechers Sport Strut bars
I found these awhile ago for the W203. I was just wondering if anyone has tried them? They seem to be going for a reasonable price. $209 for the front and $139 for the rear.

DONT even try it. I tried it - waste of time and money. Trust me - it doesn't work - unless you look drilling into the strut tower assembly, slicing portions of your heatshield and taking apart your suspension to remove it when you need to work in the engine bay 
.
Great concept, solid design, just not efficient (it actually didn't even "bolt-in" correctly)

Weichers makes excellent products, just not exactly fine-tuned for our chassis.

Bummer 
Thats what I was afraid of it not being a simple bolt mod. Thanks for you input Flip! I always find your posts very helpful and interesting. Will we ever see any bolt on friendly Carlab Strut bars in the future?
