Question Rear Sway Bar Installation Guidance

Does anyone have a write-up or DIY to install a rear sway bar on a coilover converted CL?

Assisting a relative with a recent purchase that has Ceikas installed. We installed the front sway from an S430 and control arms but we are at an impasse for the rear.

Thanks in advance.

It is my understanding that the rear subframe has to be dropped so you can sneak the rear sway bar in.

You need to look deep into your soul. And ask why you would want to add sway bars to the cl500. The car already has reinforcement due to the pillarless roof so you don't need sway bars when you switch to coilovers. Unless you plan on taking this car at speeds over 120 mph on right hand turns in your daily driving

Lots of people have converted to coilovers without any sway bars and are driving their car as happy as could be. And I'm one of them. Cornering is fine without them
