Why would the actual ride suffer so greatly from simply replacing 1 end of the control arms?? I can understand if you went poly all the way around but....

BTW I checked the WIS and the EUR spec toe for the front is 20' v. 12' US. Unless I am reading something wrong.

Because they are ball-joints on the other end with no give in them.

Stock rear 17x8.5 rims on all four wheels. 245/40/17 front and 265/40/17 rear. Swaybar is a H&R 19mm welded to a AMG 16mm and then is boxed together with steel plate.

Wierd sway configuration. Are you talking about the speedybenz bars? As the KXXX kit just uses poly bushings that press in with eccentric bushings that go inside. At least that's all that's pictured on their website for MB applications for w203.

The front LCA's have a ball-joint at the hub end and a liquid filled rubber bushing at the body end. The rubber bushings are pushed out and the KMAC poly bushings are pressed in. This alone makes the ride very harsh.

Interesting I guess I could see that being the case then. If the body bushings on the lower control are are liquid filled is it safe to say that they are destroyed when removed? (I have istalled and had vehicles with fully ply suspension as I rebuilt it).

Did you try the eibach 22m rear sway btw? Do you know if that will fit a c55? Anyone know the weight of the c55 rims respectively?
