Whatta ya know!

I just received my Clk 63 BS rear sway bar and whatta ya know it's made by Eibach. May not be a surprise to some but definitely is to me. Still waiting on the front sway that's being shipped from Germany. These should compliment the PSS9's very nicely.

hmmm... how much was the shipping from Germany? Do they leave it at your front door? I had a few orders out of the country and they actually need a person to receive the items for signatures and stuff like that... which I hate because I dont like to open the front door unless I am expecting someone... too many telemarketers around! lol

Yea, they leave it at my front door. I wasn't charged international shipping, they just didn't have it in stock so they had to order it. It's coming fedex, should arrive tomorrow. Yea it does require a signature.

BTW: Aren't telemarketers, by definition, on the phone?

But I think you get the point..


lemme know how the ride goes... you're selling your springs? does that mean you got coilovers already?

Don't know how much the Eibachs are but if they are priced like the H&R's then the BS is cheaper


Edit: It say Eibach Federn on the sways. Can anyone confirm what it says on the regular Eibach sways?

How much were these? And how did it feel? P.S how much did you end up paying for PSS9's?

They were around $200 + shipping for the set. I haven't installed them yet, waiting to do a few things together. I paid $1,900 for the PSS9's

Spoke to Eibach to find out the differences between the BS sway and the regular w209 sways they make. The only thing they could tell me was products that say "Eibach Springs" are made in the US and "Eibach Federn" are made in Germany. They couldn't even find a sway bar application for the w209. After a few minutes on hold they took down my info and said a "specialist" will get back to me. So...All I know is they are made in Germany...

Not really. I tried to measure and it looked about the same as the H&R. They definitely help a lot over the stock.

No I didn't need to change anything. I think they put the end links of the rear sway bar outside the holes. Let me know when you get them and I will send you pics.
