HELP: 2004 C230 sedan swaybars - 10mm or 12mm?
I'm looking into getting H&R sways and wanted to know if anyone knows if my 2004 (early build, not 04.5) C230 sedan has 10mm or 12mm holes/bolts stock. I've heard a couple of different answers, but nobody seems to know for sure, including the people at H&R who told me that some come with 10mm and others come with 12mm. I have a hard time believing that it is not a standard size on these cars. Also, the guy at H&R said that I should just bolt the bars on to the stock endlinks, while others have recommended that I buy the AMG endlinks and bolts (12mm) and drill bigger holes in the struts if the holes are indeed 10mm. Anyone who has experienced this and can offer some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, the parts department looked up my VIN and said I need 10mm. I suggest you call them with your VIN just to be safe, because they did confirm that some are 10mm and others are 12mm, with no obvious way of knowing unless they look it up. Send me a PM...I'm interested in where you're getting yours.
