This goes for all non-AMG 203s as well - if you're looking into stiffening up the front with beefier links, dremeling or shaving a 12mm hole (from 10) from the non-AMG sway bar (eibach, h&r) AND strut assembly is required.

This was one of the very first mods I did on my 2003 C-Coupe.
I wish I had written down all the Part #'s. I had a shop bore from 10mm to 12mm to make everything work.
I love my AMG C32 sways !
They are perfect for the Coupe.

Thomas,
I love it !
I'm trying to convince my wife to do the same kind of drop on the C320 SS.
The only thing, (and I don't mean to criticize) that looks kinda off, is the rear brake rotor and caliper. The front C32 AMG brakes make it look super, but then the rear looks like it's missing a rotor alltogether. My Coupe looks the same way, and that's why I had to go with the larger CLK55 AMG rotors & 2-piston calipers.
But really, your car looks awesome !

Something Slow
yup i did the same had to make the holes bigger on my H&R sway bars and on my Tein Coilovers of the bigger Endlinks.. but on the KW V2 kit it came with option to make the hole from 10mm to 12mm with a little washer type thing.. Good luck and enjoy MJ
