C55 H&R swaybars and headlight levelers
Would appreciate if someone can confirm that the H&R swaybar set with the 12mm front endlink holes have flats on the bars to provision for the headlight levelers on a C55.
Thanks in advance.

Confirmed: had to bend the tabs/and u-bolts to make them fit some. Yes you do need the 12mm ends on them as well. Yes they are the BEST mod needed for these cars to actually HANDLE, you also: MIGHT need to get engine mounts-mine are shot-so i have had to space my swaybar down at the D-mounts(stock engine mounts collapse, causing interference into the oil pan.

when the car is sitting on the ground the swaybar does NOT touch the pan(only when i raised the vehicle), i am going to get aftermarket engine mounts so that i dont keep tearing/ruining stock ones(they dont last) Also: i got an aftermarket loop on its way so the headlight/rideheight sensor does not contact(found it was still hitting)

Right, as I mentioned, at full droop the swaybar contacts the oil pan. So, you don't know for certain it is worn mounts that causes the oil pan contact. I don't think you mentioned the ride height sensor was contacting anything previously. I'll have to check that out.

Id assume thats your issue:i dont know: but my engine mounts are done/bad and plan to replace with the aftermarket billet ones, you doing the same?
the reason i need to mess with ride height sensor/have contact: i have aftermarket camber and caster arms as well that interfere with the sensor, that take up the same room as the swaybar, but i got in a solution for that from the manufacturer
