1 week with Eibach springs and sways
Well, after one week with the springs and sways on my coupe and I am thrilled with the car. If MB had this as an option there would be a lot less BMWs sold! The car handles like its on rails! The ride is so smooth my 70 year old mother didn't even notice any added harshness. People do yourself a favor and do the mods. I am one happy driver!

Yeah, the stock shocks are in until they die. They are doing a fine job so far, but for how long who knows? The other weird but great thing is that I can go over speed bumps faster without any problems. Certain speed bumps on a street near my house could only be taken at 22mph before, now I can take them at 35 without any problem!

well, i got the amg swaybars - and i hope it's enough.
are you running into the "3-wheeling" mentioned by another person?
tommy got the eibach swaybars; we'll be able to compare in a couple of weeks.

Young - I didn't think the AMG springs dropped the car at all (or not noticeable at least)?? C320 vs C32 looks identical

oops... sorry. i got the amg swaybars.
i was close to getting the eibachs. but i figured, the amg's would be simpler for right now. i'll see once they're on and i can compare.
i have no (current) plans for new springs.

mdp c230k - Where did you purchase the springs and sway bar, and how much were they? (If you don't mind my asking) Will they work on a C240? Thanks.

I love sway bars. I never knew they did anything until I got them. Very nice upgrade you did. Im sure you are gonna enjoy it as much as me. Im thinking about stiffening mine up a notch. Taking the turns harder yet being so flat and responsive it so fun.
Oh by the way, for those who might wonder how I can stiffen mine up its because I have the Evosport sway bars. 3 way adjustable in the front 2 way adjustable in the rear. They are set in the softest setting for me right now.
