sway bars for CLK 500
All I am finding available is H&R, which is fine.
However, it looks like they come with either 10 mm. or 12 mm. end link holes.
Anyone know which one I need????? (my car is an 03)
Thanks

There was a post some time back which listed the thickness of all the different sway bars (stock, AMG, Brabus, H&R etc.).
Wish I could find it again!!!!!

CLK 320 has 10 mm and CLK 500 has 12 mm.

hey, just curious, is your current Brabus suspension setup really in need of upgraded sway bars?
I'm thinking of lowering with H&R springs and wondering if sway bars are really necessary.

I am going to be taking the car to the track for the first time next month, so I think some stiffer sways would be helpful.
For street driving though, its probably overkill.

No, the Brabus set-up I think is perfect. Nice drop (not too extreme) and ride does not feel harsh at all. I've had it on my car for almost 5 years now

Update: I got H&R sway bars installed yesterday. Cornering feels SO much better. Now I wish I had gotten them put on years ago!!!!!

Yep, front and rear.
If you have a CLK 320/350, then I believe the end link holes are 10 mm.
For the CLK 500/550, 12 mm.
Tirerack have the H&R bars with 10 mm holes only.
I got mine here http://www.autocarparts.com/c_Merced...way-Bars_m_HR/
