Looks like you could take that picture and measurements to a welding shop and have them make you one with higher gauge steel for half the price.
Also note it will help you burn through trans and motor mounts faster.

I know of no one who's got that on their Benz. The thinking has always been that the front end is so stiff that it's not necessary.
Now, as far as that particular bar, I'd have to say that it looks pretty sh*tty in design. The bar ends at the pretty thin-looking flat steel piece, instead of at the shock mounting points. My unedumacated guess is that it is better ornamentation than it is in doing what it's supposed to do. All of the company's "evidence" looks more like an infomercial than a serious aftermarket tuner's. I'd pass, but your results may vary.

I fall about laughing at people who put these bars on unibody street cars. At speeds below 100 mph they improve handling as much as fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror. If you want to improve handling, look toward a Bilstein/Eibach strut assembly and performance tires.
