I will check the fitment on the w209, if you can send me a picture of your engine bay it would help a lot, the w202 i'm 99% sure front and back would work no problem. pm if intrested.

Just ran across this. BTW the rear bar is likely useless as a real strut bar should mount to the sheet metal to prevent flex not the tops of the shocks-

i respect your opinion, but please read users test drive testemonials before makin a judgment. It works perfectly fine and actually more effective than the front.

Yeah that's why the CLK63 BS rear shock tower brace attaches to the sheet metal not the shock tops, right?? You may get some marginal benefit from that brace, but no where near what a real sheetmetal brace will do. There is a place in germany that makes them... I have both in aluminum.

Like i said i respect your opinion but my experience and the members that are using these bars says that it is significantly more than just marginal and also doesnt require drilling and is more user froendly than the weicher ones due to adjustability of stiffness. But again i respect your point of view and everyone elses i just don't appreciate assumptions made without first hand experience.
