2003 Citron Green C230KMT
i called my dealer to order the parts. provided on the thread. i was told i need bushings for these bars. is this correct or no. are the bushings attached to the bar. they said there are like 4 differect rear amg bars and 2 front. which do i use. i have a 03 and they said that my VIN wont work because it a nonAMG model and wont show up. will these bars work then. do i need to order the bushings too for the front. also with the part numbers it didnt provide the rear bracket so i ordered that with the rear bar and bushing. im not sure anout the front bushing though.
regarding the xenon leveler, should i have the dealership install the bars then, will i need a new bracket for the leverler since the bar is fatter. thanks for your help!

The current part number is A203-323-44-65 (last I checked - it changes a lot, which is apparantly the case for quite a few AMG part numbers). This latest iteration of the C32 bar has pre-attached busings, but will require new brackets to hold them as the bushings are now a different shape.
Regarding the leveler, I haven't actually seen one so I'm not sure if it attaches via a bracket or just bolts on. Have the parts guy pull up the relevant part numbers to see if the lever and any bracket are different between your car and the C32, if they are order the C32's (however, I wouldn't be surprised if they are already the same part).

03 Bars
Citron,
Just order the 03 front and rear bars and you should be fine. Follow the thread back; I posted the exact 03 AMGC32 bar numbers. You will also require new REAR bushings, and FRONT lower brackets. NO FRONT BUSHINGS are required on a 03 bar. I'm not sure about the leveler hardware, but I suspect that it should swap straight onto the C32 bar. Your service rep should order the parts w/o problem. If he hassles you, try someone else.
Best of luck
