Better at the trade off of ride quality.Have you installed sport shocks and springs to lower it?You will feel every bump.Like the feel of a slot car going around a turn?you might enjoy it.To keep it balanced you need to install both front and rear bars or the eibach kit.
lastly you have a E320,you don't need the extra .2G handling?as the guy says sure you want it,but do you really need it?

In general, though, the more you stiffen one end of the car relative to the other, the less grip you will have on the stiffer end.
It's obviously a lot more complicated than that, so if you don't have an idea of what the parts do and what your goals are, you're just wasting money.

Instead of the H/R sway bars Try the Factory AMG E55 Sway bars...
I Installed a set on my W210 Wagon and they made a HUGE difference on the turns...WITHOUT any NEGATIVE ride trade off...the sway bars are only used on the turns

Great tip
Mark.Don't you find bumps transmitted to the unloaded wheel?Or is it not noticeable because it's a wagon.
I was looking into the eibach F/R on our wagon and have those specs do you happen to have the dia.of the E55 bars?

I have the eibach sway bars front and back. They work great! Yes, you only notice them on turns. The car corners real well. I have only noticed a bumpy ride when the rubber sway bar bushings were shot. Then the bars started banging in the mounting brackets. I replaced the rubber bushings with polyurethane ones and the ride is back to great.

E320
Thanks, Ohlord!
Yes, I have sport shocks and lower springs installed. I like the better handle, and don't feel the ride quality is bad at all. That is why I am thinking about getting some more improvement.
You are right. I ask myself, do I need it? Will I just waste money?
That's why I asked people's opinion and experience.
Thanks for your input!

I didn't find product of sway bar for W210 on Eibach's website. But, I searched again, then, I found some online shops carry them for W210.
Thanks!
