Good news everyone!
Had another track day (circuit) last Wednesday, my C43 is now faster than a W210 E55.
I've previously been approx 1 second per lap slower (mine stock, E55 with track tyres). I fitted a set of Bridgestone RE55S tyres (225/45/17 and 255/40/17) and I dropped approx 3.5-4 seconds per lap(around 2 min lap time)!!
The traction was AWESOME!
Now, for the bad news
I'm obliterating my tyres in just 1 day
I really need less body roll and more front negitive camber to help extend my tyres life. The front tyres are already on the wear indicator after only 170km/110mi.
I installed a set of KMAC adjustable lower control arm bushes 2 weeks ago at have got to approx negative 2deg camber, but I obviously need more.
My 2 solutions are to either increase camber to -2.5deg and/or to reduce body roll. My std sway bars are 30mm front and 18mm rear. I don't want to lower the vehilce any more so I can't increase camber by lowering.
Does anybody know about any other camber kit's for the W202 or Uprated anti-roll bars (eibach and H&R don't have anything larger)

Anyone fitted aftermarket antiroll bars? Were they any bigger?

I know there is MKB providing antiroll bars for C43...

I would send a PM to speedybenz. He has a pretty serious suspension system for the C43 that should change quite a bit. Other than that I can't think of anyone else who has done more than a camber arm/spring/shock replacement upgrade on here.
Thanks for the lead..........I'll let you all know how it goes
