Help needed with AMG sway bar.
I unbolted the rear sway bar and removed the four screw holding the clamps and bushings. Is there a trick to snaking that sway bar out? I got it about 80% out but it keeps hanging on the exhaust pipe.

I had to lower the entire rear subframe from the differential to install my sway bars.

The intercooler is doing fine. I was not the easiest to install. I can feel the difference. The biggest difference is that I get the power consistently on a warm day or cool day and after just starting the car or running it hard.
Back to more important things. I can pull the bar out to towards the passenger side but it gets hung up by the exhaust. It might be easier if I either remove the rear wheel to give me a little straighter path or drop the muffler.

The easiest way is to take off the rear tires. If not, you can pull out the sway bar from the passanger side, there is a spot where you can slip it out. Just keep trying.. Putting the AMG sway bar in is a bit more difficult, since it's 3mm thicker. Just keep trying.

You Must Raise the rear of the Coupe Set on Jack stands or on a Hoist,and remove BOTH rear wheels to remove the Rear sway bar...Its a 20min Job!(With Air Tools) Evo Sport Is Making Larger Sway Bars. Larger Than The AMG Bars..

Got the AMG sway bar installed. I removed the passenger wheel, gave me better access to remove the bar. Took about an hour from start to cleanup (no air tools). Can't tell you if the car handles better because of the rain.

How does the car handle with the new sway bar? Can you please post the part number for the AMG sway bar. I know you had problems getting the right one. Also the part numbers for bushings.
Thanks

FYI to those waiting on Eibach sways: should be shipping from Tirerack on the 26th; delay is due to a strike in the Fatherland.
