Selling 430 Swaybars

If anyone wants to upgrade their 320 sway bars to 430 sway bars (which aren't as harsh as 55 bars), let me know. I'm selling mine for cheap. If you want you can buy the front shocks (which are different) as well, but I don't recommend buying any other part of the 430 suspension.

So the 430 does have swaybars afterall. I remember a while back, people were arguing whether the CLK430 even had swaybars. Are you replacing yours with the CLK55's? What does your 430 handle like, now that you installed the Evosport Stage II suspension? Did it eliminate the bodyroll?

I installed the 55 swaybars (from Eibach) along with Koni Adj., and H&R springs. It handles awesome. I've got to run right now, but I'll post more later.

The black sway bars are the CLK 430s


The 430 has 22mm front sway bars, and I believe 15mm rear.

My car no longer has body roll. In fact, I find myself limited more by the physical aspects of having to hold yourself in place while cornering at high speeds, rather than the car having to negotiate the turns. It's nice being able to come out of a turn knowing that you just owned it! Once I get my rims and tires, I'll track the car.
