EvoSport Sway bars, my impressions...
Well, Ive had them in for 2 days now. The verdict is, they are great. WIth the newfound power I have been pushing my car pretty hard. It feels very solid. Also, the car feels like it wants to straiten itself out more. When I turn, I feel more flat. My car doesnt lean. My friends who rode in the back said that it feels really good. The back just turns without leaning. Like it pivots. They were impressed. I guess the front and rear sway bars was a good idea. Im very happy with them. 
I take some pics of the rear one tomorrow. I cant see the front one because my car is too low in the front. Or its just covered and I just dont know where to look. :p

I dont think you want bascially almost the same size front and rear sway bars. You will tend to break the rear a lot then (lose traction). The rears are 3 way adjustable.
I recommend the full kit. Its really nice. I might want to stiffen it up a little more to see how that feels.
FrankW: the C240 and the C320 both share the same blower. I think thats why I have a bit of lag, kinda like a turbo. Hehe. Its very progressive and kicks hard from 3000rpm and on. Around 4500rpm I know im on full boost. Its fun! Hehe.

But he wonders if his bars are already thicker than the coupe and the non-sport C. If his are same as C32, then he obviously wouldn't need the C32 rear bar.

Only the C32 got the better one.
