Enzo, my Benzo
Here is the FINAL word on the AMG badge placement. (reinforcing Alon)
Obviously the molded badge on the left stays on the left.
The ///AMG badge that comes with the ducktail sans molded logo goes on the left as well.
The only time AMG belongs on the right is for real AMG cars after 94 starting with the C36. End of story. Now we can all move on with our lives...

i am a die hard OE part freak.
they are OE mercedes. EVO-II wheel, 17".
i bought all 4 from my local stealer, $275.00 each.
lnkprksoldier
i want to lower the 400, but it will be awhile.
i had to replace the evaporator a couple of weeks ago, $1901.26
i lowered my 300e 3/4" by changing the spring pads and added the sportline front swaybar.
i just had a 500e front swaybar put on the 400.
tightened the front end up quite a bit.

thanks!
do you live in the asheville, cherokee, north carolina area?
norcal
i will see if i can find the part number.
either phil @ partshop [mercedesshop] or caliber motors 1.800.252.6877 in california wholesale parts can sell them to you and or gladly give you the part number.
bekkers is in business to serve themselves, period.
chris
i paid 121.00 at the local stealer for the bar. there are bushings and brackets to buy too.
they better be working with me, i've spent a crap load of money with them lately-and still NOT done.
for the 6 cylinder cars the sportline bar makes a big diff. the 500e bar may be overkill IF you aren't doing rear bar at same time.
try a 'search' for sway bars at the big 3 merc forums. alot of useful info

ebennz, thanks for the part number. I forget to ask my parts guy to check on the 500e sway bars. I'll check tomorrow since I'm going there again to pick up a few things. Ooooh...can't wait to see how much better my car will handle.
