'02 C32 ///AMG, 2000 BiTurbo Audi S4(RIP)
Just got off the phone with eibach, they do not make rear sways for the C32.

I just ordered an H+R front swaybar (24mm or 26mm, I forgetz), and I was looking for an Eibach rear because they are 22mm, supposedly thicker (and usually cheaper) than H+R. But Eibach said they don't make any applications to fit the c32. I asked him if any of the other applications might fit (something 22mm thick and 12mm end-links and he put me on hold and asked his boss. Said he didn't have anything that he was sure would fit). I guess Ill just get the H+r rear but I did want those couple extra mm in the rear. I found a thread on here that explained the percentages of increased stiffness and it said H+R was the highest in the front, and eibach was stiiffest in the rear (thats what she said?). So anyone with any insight into this would be much appreciated.

Nothing is listed as "C32" specific. However, all W203's can interchange parts. You would be using the eibach bars made for the entire W203 lineup. H&R's parts are also not "C32" specific. H&R does use seperate part numbers for the C32 inorder to minimize confusion, but they are the same parts as the ones for the rest of the W203's.

Like I said I asked the rep at eibach if he thought I could use the bar from another w203 model and he didn't know. They make specific apps for some of the other specific amg models, like the c63. So does anyone know where I can buy an eibach 22mm rear sway w/ 12mm endlinks that definitly fits a c32?

Ummm, I just pretty much answered your question. There are no specific applications for the C32/C55 for Eibach, H&R, KW, Koni, Bilstein, etc or pretty much any aftermarket suspension. They all share the same applications as the rest of the W203 lineup. If you look at Eibach applications on their website for W203, you will see the 24mm front and 22mm rear sway bars listed. The only difference being that you will have to modify the front 10mm hole for the front sway to fit. If you don't want to modify the front sway bar, H&R offers the option of a front sway bar that has the 12mm endlink hole. The rear sway bars DO NOT have different endlinks. Once again, there are no C32/C55 Eibach specific parts, can't make it more simple than that.. good luck.

I have checked several times, and Eibach DOES NOT list any sway bars for the C32 or C320 sedans. They do list them for the wagon and the coupe. No sedans. Granted, I would think a sway bar for the wagon should fit the sedan, but then why would Eibach turn away the sedan business if they had the parts to fit?

Simple. Government certification. Why can't you just bring a C63 Wagon into USA if Mercedes has it in Germany?
Go to the German site for Eibach found here http://performance-suspension.eibach...formance_guide, at the bottom select the Europa catalog and see for yourself what they make for 203.064.

Check again, the Eibach application guide is whack. If you put in a later year W203 C240 sedan it actually shows applications for sway bars. BTW, I use to be an Eibach dealer here in Ontario, Canada, so I get my info from the paper catalogs that I have here. Wagon/Sedan suspension parts are interchangeable.

I know it exists. I have it. The c32 and non amg w203s share the same rear sway bar set up, its only the front bar that differs w/ different sized end links.

Not quite the solid technical support you were anticipating, huh?

Listen to Lenin, TruTaing and Autotechnica. They’ve been around the block more than once.

OK, I stand corrected! Not the first time, won't be the last. Wish I knew this before. So, how does one get the sedan sways from Eibach? From Germany?

and only because you are from NY (we are neighbors) , front:

Vehicle: 20002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Submodel: Sport Wagon, 6-cyl. engine
AutoAnything SKU: 3368088
Part #: 2564.310

Do a google search using the part numbers and you will find other suppliers.

Lenin, thanks for the info! I have seen the parts listed for the wagon and coupe but not the sedan. However, as shown previously it is obvious they willfit the sedan also. Strange.
