Swaybars

Someone mentioned that a great upgrade would be to get SPORTLINE sway bars or Limo front and E500 rear swaybars.
I was wondering what car the limo front sway bar is from and what year E500 rear is from?

Thank You

The Limo front bar is from the, err, Limo!:p
Seriously though, it's also used on the Sportline Convertible.

Thanks! There is a lot of info there. I'll have to finish reading tomorrow.

I didn't know that there was a W124 Limo. I have seen limos in the W100, W123, W116, W126, W140 and W220. My apologies. Anyway, I found a W124 today:

I just acquired a few things:

Eibach Sway Bar Box (Not the sway bars unfortunately)

and

W124 1988 300E OEM Front and OEM Rear Sway Bars + Bushings

From what I read so far, I understand that my 1989 300ce has a 13mm rear bar and the sedan has a 15mm rear bar. I was wondering if I should consider using the 15mm rear bar to replace the 13mm that I have on my coupe currently. Buying the Sportline Plus sway bars will be a future upgrade. If not, can someone tell me which bushings I have?

Thank You

Those bushings are standard ones. All the info regarding them is on the above spreadsheet.
The rear bar is a swine to change and the difference in price between a 15mm bar and a 16.5mm bar is small so go for the 16.5mm one.

An empty box will not improve your handling (maybe if you cut it up and use it as a rear spoiler.. )

I have the 15mm here now, that's why I was asking. When I do buy new ones, I will probably buy the e500.
