3-Will cars with the non-AMG endlinks hold up with the sways?
4-Finally, will both these sways have enough clearance for a car with an AMG exhaust, lowered with 18s?
Thanks alot!

I'm surprised otoupalik doesn't know this.
The Eibachs fit the sedans. I should know I have a set on my C320.

Can someone verify AMGs endlink part#
Is this the right part# for AMGs endlink to fit the sways on a 2002 C240?
203-323-21-89 Rod $47.18 (2 required) ? Is only the front required?
Thanks again for answering my questions!

I have learned that what manufacturers and retailers say is often far from accurate!
Glad to know they do fit!
Thanks
Brad
PS - curious, Why did you select the Eibach or AMG over ours? Market research, you know? Thanks

no, but it is fair to say that is one of the primary reasons that we started our company!
It is also why we manufacture our own stuff. We will import and sell other product when it works. However, we feel that much of this product is not geared for the enthusiast and/or is way overpriced.
Thanks

Brad, I would have loved to purchase one of the Evosport swaybars since I have read nothing but positive things about you and your company. However, since I do not have an unlimited supply of funds (hence a c240 instead of a c32), I do have to watch what I do buy. =)
Adjustability is not of real importance to me, so that feature did not attract my decision whatsoever. But a price of $300 something vs. $545 (if I am not mistaken) is a little too much of a price difference to justify the purchase....I am slowly but surely saving for a Kleemann kit that I may get from you guys anyway! (so $9 G's vs $545 towards your company isnt too bad anymore, is it? =)
Thanks again, btw any word on the verification of the AMG endlink part#?

Eibachs was $345 when I got it. Evosport's was over $500.

Does that mean the main reason to pick the AMG over the Eibachs is the price factor?
AMGs where $170 and Eibachs where $350. I mainly did it because the AMGs where available and the Eibachs weren't. I originally ordered the Eibachs but after waiting over 2 months I gave up. It's hard to imagine that AMG is the value leader though!

well.... what if the AMG bars are not up-to-par w/ur expectations in the handling department. i know im not. so... gotta go aftermarket! yea... one of the reason is because of price. i thought 200 bux difference VS few seconds on the track.

The AMG sways don't perform well enough. The evosport and Eibachs are more at par with each other. That's why it came down to the price factor.

yup, I believe that to be true as well.
I know that whomever installs them should be careful. A freind of mine had the AMG ones put on his car and the installer srilled the whole too large!!!!!!!!
Thanks

For the front end links, check with your car's VIN number at the parts dept. and make sure you have different ones; otherwise you'll be just wasting your money.
Here are the part numbers when I bought them last month.
FRONT ASSEMBLY:
203-323-31-65 - Front Bar ~$70
203-323-22-85 - Rubber mount (bushing) ~$4.50 (2)
203-323-26-89 - End links ~$45 (2) with code 486; optional
REAR ASSEMBLY:
203-326-15-65 - Rear Bar ~$75
203-326-00-81 - Rubber mount (bushing) ~$7.50 (2)
And you'll need a set of Torx sockets for the job.
