w204 front strut bar
Hi
I only found one front top strut bar for "our" car (Smerc one)!!!
Do you know other ones??
I would like to buy one because I feel my car understeer alot more than my old one (w203)....
Probably will be because power/torque but I would like to improve the handling a little bit more
Thanks

MB Arts makes one which has been very well reviewed by those who purchased.

But, comments also suggest that the effect is really only felt at very aggressive driving. For a more significant effect, you may want to consider Eibach anti-sway bars.

I'm using the MB Arts one. One-piece construction which is stronger than multi-piece. You really should start with sway bars though as Sportstick suggests.

I have to agree- I put the MB Arts bar on in January and the car sticks on the turns (even with the 17" winter Dunlops). I actually wait a little longer before pulling the wheel on turns just so I can feel the car eat the turn. Can't wait to put the 18's on and take it a little further.
Great bar, great quality, great purchase (and damn easy to install)

Like the color and reviews on this bar, but where else do they sell it or this is the only place and price available?

There are a few shops that carry it, but that's direct from manufacturer so best price unless you work something out with Jay.

ok so i got in contact with Jay from MB arts and this is what he had to say regarding a group buy:
"For a group buy, I would would need to get 5+ orders. Since the strut tower brace has a very low profit margin, $25.00 is the maximum discount that can be given and for the group buy MB Arts will cover the sales tax. Cost would be $325.00 shipping not included. Retail for each brace is $382.00 with tax, for a total GB discount of roughly $57.00
I also carry W204 camber arms and can do a group buy on those as well. The camber arms GB can be 4+ members with a discount of $25.00, and MB Arts will cover the sales tax. Cost would be $315.00 shipping not included. Retail for each pair of camber arms is $371.00 with tax, for a GB discount of roughly $56.00"
so....do we wanna make this happen???
