What company makes sway bars for CLK's?

AMG and Eibach make sway bars for the CLK. Both are the same diameter (28mm Front & 18mm Rear), but the Eibach's are less than half the AMG's. I installed the Eibach sway bars on my car, and have had great results. Body lean is reduced to a minimum, which is really helpful in cornering.
With the sway bars and any aftermarket suspension, you will in result handle the same as a 55 with that same aftermarket suspension.
While it's hard to tell the difference in diameter from this picture, here is what the front 430 sway bar and front Eibach sway bar (Red) look like:
Thanks,

2000 CLK 430
Hey Ben,
Does the CLK 430 have sway bars already or is that just the CLK55? Please send me sway bars quotes also.
Thanks

All CLK's have sway bars installed from the factory. The difference is that the CLK55 AMG has larger sway bars. The Eibach upgrade to the car puts you in the same position as the AMG cars. With an upgraded suspension and sway bars (done right), you would have a better handling car than the CLK55. If you and a CLK55 both were to upgrade your suspension using the same springs & shocks, and you choose to upgrade your sway bars as well, you would be on a level playing field with the CLK55.

02 CLK 430 Coupe
Guys, I can't recommend installing these Eibach sway bars on your CLK. I got them, and eventually what will happen after about 300000 miles is the rear one will rip the mounts out of the subframe of your car since they are so hard. Then you have about a $2000 repair or you just have to take the sway bar out, which is what I did. I haven't had a problem with the front one though.
