C32 Stock F/R
22mm/16mm
Evosport F/R
24mm/19mm
41%/98%
Eibach
24mm/22mm
41%/257%
The front can be adjusted to approximately 10% stiffer, and the rear 5% stiffer. The Eibach bars are way too stiff in the rear. There should be no contact issues with the control arms.
Thanks,
Ben

It was literally 3mm I grinded off just the lower corner of the bar.
It only touched under compression when I drove the left front wheel up one of those ramps for working on the car. There were no marks on the arm so it didn't happen under normal driving. I did it "just in case"
What I was thinking though was that with the mounting holes on top of the Evos, it might be close.

ok im really interested in buying a set of the eibach sway bars. my apprehension tho is my xenon leveling sensor issue. could i install these myself without having to worrk about this. i dont plan on changing the settings. would it be beneficial to have them installed where i buy them. i know someone with a lift and all that so i would like to save the expense of the install cost but i dont want issues with my xenon leveling sensor.

moedigga,
No, the pulleys do not change the crank pulley, and thus would have no effect on boost output of a supercharger. The only part you would need to change when adding a supercharger would be the belt. BrabusCClass has our pulleys on his Kleemann C24K.
Thanks,
Ben

i am glad i did the pullies and you can definately feel them. i too was a little concerned about changing performance parts on to my new v6 because of mb warranty issues, but with pullies there isnt really anything that can go wrong mechanically. my car idles like it did before i put them on, and is as quiet as it was prior to installing them. check the other thread about these pullies.

There isn't much HP to be recovered...the altenator doesn't take much unles the battery is overtaxed or dead, and the power steering pump is likewise little used in straight line accelleration anyway. Anybody got dynos to back these up?

It's in Russian and he is advertising something. Don't know if it's his own business but it's an advertisement.
I don't know why he would post something like this in a car forum. (He builds houses and is in the construction business)
