Yes, you are correct, the AMG sway bars are Eibach parts. I just bought the AMG parts last month (front and rear bar) they have the MB part number, The AMG logo, and the Eibach logo printed on them!
Interestinly, these parts have the W202 prefix, must have been first used on the C36 AMG.
The rear swaybar requires that the rear suspension sub-assembly be unbolted and lowered to change the part - found out when I tried to change it out myself.
Also, if you need to change your shocks - get the Bilstein sports. The AMG shocks are hideously expensive (at dealer prices), and you really can't find them in the aftermarket.

wow kind of wish i got the h&r ones now. hey BB have you done anything new to your suspension? i put my stock 17s on with 245 front and 265 back and it made a difference. my friend said the bigger the difference between the front and rear the more understeer you will have!
