I really query the efficiency of such parts apart from a certain "look" factor. Our 43's don't have McPherson strut suspension set ups, but use double wishbones. These are defo needed to stiffen the suspension towers on McPherson suspensions.

Yes, got em on ebay. Haven't installed yet. Need my friend to do it. The front engine bay where you install needs modifications, drilling a 2 holes, taking few parts off & back on. An 30min job. The rear is easy. Waiting 4 him, he actually built a tri-sway-bar, but gotta wait till he installs c55 motor & 5-speed on his c43. Ahh, he's done with swap. Just 5-Speed, so it will be done by 1wk of August or earlier and i'll post pics.

@DRBC43AMG, i agree with your thinking but i found these useful when i installed on my car. initially it was mainly for look but i have found a better handling "feel".

I wonder if our Ring champion uses them or not on his highly modified W202 C43/55

OK, FINALLY INSTALLED 10MIN...INSTRUCTIONS WANTED YOU TO CUT UNDER RUBBER. NO NEED . IT BENDS DOWN & WON'T HIT HOOD

MIDDLE, LOOKING GOOD

RIGHT SIDE REMOVE BLACK MODULE, DRILL BOLTS AND RE-INSTALL MODULE. PERFECT

REAR, HAD TO TAKE CARPET OUT. EASY INSTALL

HANDLES LIKE AN M3, STIFF, NO BODY ROLL, CAN TAKE TURNS FAST & EASY, FREEWAY RAMPS, ETC...AND LOOKS COOL, WORTH THE MONEY BECAUSE OTHER VW'S, BMW', AUDI'S ALL CAN TAKE TURNS FASTER. I'M JUST RUNNING STOCK AMG CUT SPRINGS 11/2 COIL, BILSTEIN SPORT SHOCKS
