Self-install swaybar kit? (C230K)
My friend's coming back this week, and he's going to be helping me get the Eibach Anti-Roll Kit for my C230K coupe this weekend. I was wondering how difficult/practical it would be to self-install the kit, and what kind of tools/equipment would be needed. And would the car need to be re-aligned after install? Thx in advance.

It's not that difficult. Just jack the car up, remove the bolts, pull off the old part, insert the new part, bolt it back up. Use blue loctite on the threads. You may have to remove a rear wheel to work the sway bar out and back in around some obsticles. Some have done it without removing the wheel, I couldn't. As far as tools, I just used a regular metric socket set. The correct tool is a reverse torx socket but regular 12 point sockets will work. Bring the car around when you are done, it would be fun to compare the AMG swaybars to the Eibach's.
