whats up guys i need help on getting the 2008 black series double loop swaybar, on my 2003 clk55 for the dual exhaust conversion. ive read pte's thread on how it has to be bent and stuff, but a step by step would be awesome, or if there is another way? thanks guys!

 

can anyone in this forum help me install a black series sway bar in my 2003 clk55?

 

If you go to the 209 forum, member Dynomite05 installed one on his '04 320, I don't remember him saying that it had to be modified at all.

 

ya ive been trying to get ahold of dyno but he hasnt been around.

 

He'll be back, he's busy as hell right now, lot's on his plate at the moment.

 

come on guys NOBODY in this thread can give a hand?

 

bump, this is sad.

 

Indeed. Maybe post your question on w209 forum?

I've posted the same words in a thread from a week,well i think u can make it without changing the rear sway bar,many others has did it without changing it to the BS sway bar,some has took it over the sway bar and some has pass just under the sway without any prob. check the link :

The last time I talked to Wes (Dynomite05) he mentioned that the bar fit without modification BUT he said something about the center OEM brackets not working and not used. From what I gathered, he meant that the bar is only secured by the end brackets.

 

My autocross buddies are telling me you cannot cut/weld a sway bar to modify it to fit as that changes the spring rate and will make the car handle poorly....... unless you know how to heat treat for the right properties.

This sounds very complicated.........

 

Thats my opinion too,i felt it would be too complicated and u not 100% guaranteed of making th car handle the same. The only solution that i can see is to take passenger side over the sway bar.(but i dont know if it will affect because one side will be straigh vs one side upper+not straight) I Wish i was in my country now to try it over the sway bar,but i think this would be the best solution...

 

Try Project PTE

I installed a CLK63 BS rear bar on my car. It fit perfect but I had to put the bar on the out side of the end links. I had to make a spacer for the end link to take up the extra width of the bar.

 

Was there any rubbing going outside the end links?
Did you use the OEM Bushings that attach the sway bar to the chassis (is the SB is attached by the endlinks and to the chassis)?
Any pics?
