That's good info to know regardless of what exactly fits where on the CLK. my wife's 203 also has the 20mm bar.

They are still humping along with their 60's technology but it looks like that is finally going to change;

I ordered my front H&R bar from propartsusa.com and it came in this week.
So I pulled the car up on the ramps yesterday and dropped the belly pan. Oops - I have the small brackets, so I whip it over to the dealer because the parts dept is open on Saturday.
The parts are not in stock I had to order them...

I stopped poking fun at the Mustang live axle after I could not keep up with a modded GT around Willow Springs a couple of years ago. It changed my mind. ....and it was embarrassing...

Installed my front bar this weekend. It's a great mod and relatively DIY if you have any experience working on cars.
Below is a pic that compares the stock front bar to H&R. Also you can see the difference in the brackets and ... if you have factory HID there is a a loop that attaches to the bar to let the lights know where they are in relation to the road - H&R provides oversized loop to attach to the new bar.

I've been really pleased with the Kleeman ECU. I had it done over 2 years ago along with the Kleeman headers and downpipe with hi-flow cats. The drive home was scary......... been smiling every since. It sounded pretty good to. Having the resonator replaced with an x-pipe today and going to the firmer/shorter length position on the h&r sways.

Read a diy writeup by Phister on the rear camber..... I will look farther into doing this. Like your exhaust..... I do these upgrades on my birthdays and for the Xmas holidays. Gonna need more birthdays in a year. Maybe I'll add the wife's bday.
