Who has sway bars?

I remember someone on the forum had swaybars on their W208 clk. I want to get some for mine and was just wondering what company they went with and how they like them (also cost if they dont mind telling). Thanks.

I do... I went with Eibach, which is the same company that made the ones on the for the W208 CLK55. I love them, really helps with turn-in and lateral movements.

They were less than $300 plus installation, but I had them istalled the same time as my springs..

I've been considering this mod along with a K-MAC kit for some time now. After riding in an '04 CL55, my 430 suspension feels sloppy in comparison. Any particular site you ordered from? I take it the sway bars for the 430 are the same on the 55?

The eibach sway bars are the same as the 55 stock sway bars. They fit all w208 CLK's, but of course would not be a very good upgrade for the 55.

The sway bars will help eliminate body lean that plagues the CLK, however they will also exploit the soft suspension as the sway bars being stiffer will transfer more force to your springs & shocks than before.
