thats better
300$ for a set of sways make sense

for all the experts, the roads i use are very bad, so i cant lower the car, i am on stock suspension (c320 coupe), will the sway bars make a difference without lowering the car ?

Oui!

The problem, though, is that you would feel bumps more throughout the entire car. Because the bars are thicker than stock, they will now not absorb issues as well as they would have with a thinner bar that would buffer things somewhat.

On the positive side, the car will act more uniformly through corners. It's just up to you to see if a little discomfort is worth the extra stiffness.

thx for the quick answer, just to make things clear :
a little stiffer, and a little less body roll.
is that it ?
thx again

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. I answer your questions even if you dislike my calipers.

haha nice one i love you brakes, its just the color, id rather color match (orion blue) or black...

thanks but forget about the sway bars, ill consider them when i downgrade to 17" (i am looking for authentic 17" amgs, with 18" the ride is not confortable enough..)...

You want pics? Search the,....

RennTech spoiler is the best rear spoiler you can get for the coupe. It's a nice rear deck spoiler that follows the coupe's lines. A few of members have this spoiler and you'll see it in their thread.

Lorinser roof spoiler is less common and very cool. But it sits abit lower on the roofline so the open panorama roof doesn't hit it when hatch is open.

The second photo in ePlants02-c230-coupe's thread shows both spoiler:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...230-coupe.html

For more closeup shots of Lorinser roof spoiler and RennTech spoiler see Advans' thread

Advans' RennTech spoiler appears after post #24 (Note Advans' RennTech spoiler is 3-piece,.. ePlants02's RennTech spoiler is newer 1-piece)
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...2009-a-14.html

Advans' Lorinser roof spoilers appears after post #319
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...2009-a-13.html
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...2009-a-14.html

I'm tempted to buy them both myself,... but my car isn't black. IMHO, Black RennTech spoiler looks good from back on any colour car, but looks a bit odd from front/top on non-black cars. Black Lorinser roof spoiler looks great on any colour car with tint.
