C55 rear end same as C32?
You’ll find the installation to be perfunctory and straightforward. rlee’s DIY is an accurate depiction of what’s involved. No need to drop the exhaust.
Increasing the rear roll couple will indeed help to reduce our dreaded understeer. Steady-state cornering will be adjusted closer to neutral. It’ll still push. Please be aware that because the rear suspension will be less “independent,” wheelspin upon corner exit is even more pronounced. Why AMG intended to control 350 HP with a non-LSD rearend remains a mystery. ASR/ESP gets even more overwhelmed. A stronger rear anti-roll bar only exacerbates the problem.

Is C55 as bad about this as C32?
