Anyone running Brabus sway bars?
Hi, I was thinking about picking up a set of Brabus sway bars. Anyone out there have them on their car? If so, how much is the handling/under steer improved?
I haven't been to a track but would like to at some point. I am also looking into a Quaife LSD..
I got a pretty reasonable quote on a set and thought I might go for it.

Drex and I have them on our c230's. They are the thickest/stiffest of all of them. When I first put them on I was able to break the rear easily. After a while I think the traction control starts adjusting. My car 3 wheels when going up steep driveways at an angle. I can't compare the to H&R's and Eibachs since I never tried them. Pair them up with some adjustable dampners and handling will be alot better. My car rides harsh but handles like a champ. Looking for stickier tires now. You will lose the smooth mercedes ride. If you want someting not as stiff I would go with the H&R's. You gotta give to gain.

I was quoted $540 shipped to San Diego.. from two places in Canada. My local shop will probably match that price as well.
I have pretty much lost most of the Mercedes smooth luxury feel because of the Brabus suspension.. I am not too worried about the ride being even stiffer..
