CLK W208
Hows it going everyone, I have some good news for the people that missed out on the rear sturt tie bars that made. I made a visit to my fab company today to try to comeup with ideas for the front one and while we were in the storage i came across 4 more bars. I gues waht happened was they made a few more of them than i tought. so here we go there are 4 more available.

99CLK320,
for anyone who hasn't read up on this mod; it is an inexpensive way to improve handling. it is very easy to install and as little as a quarter of a turn on the bar makes a noticeable difference in body role, handling and ride. you can crank it up so tight that it feels like you don't have any shocks at all. it makes the back end really stiff, if that's what you want. personally I find it uncomfortable in daily driving. whatever trips your trigger.
P.S. I'm gettin' nada for the testimonial.

Just ordered my H&R Sway Bars today, I already have on the rear strut tower bar and love it. I can go into corners and curves allot smother and at higher speeds without fear

All I will need now is a front strut to complete the system. Wondering how it would feel then.

Also ordered the EvoSports Pulley Kit

lol, well i'm glad to inform you that the passenger side mounting bracket is done, just working on the driver side and trying to avoid repositioning of the throttle sensor. the first one has your name on it will707, i,ve done some testing with the front one with a temperory driver side mounting bracket and i gotta say the car feels like you are driving on tracks very responsive and i can put to shame almost anything on the on-ramps.

My heart is beating, can't wait. In the mean time looking at getting some parts from P1 Performance as well. Possibly Rear Arm and Camber Kit for now, later will be his headers with piping up to my SuperSprint Resonator to give me a full front to rear aftermarket exhaust system. All this should be done by June which is in time for PowerChip Tokyo to open and get my ECU tuned with a special tuning package. Not bragging
