H & R Sway Bars`

Anyone out there bought and/or installed a set of H & R sway bar kits? This is a relatively new product. Front is 30 mm, rear is 19 mm. They are about the same size as factory E55. Solid construction over stock 210 hollow tubing.

Very reasonably priced. Wonder if they fit the stock links and how well they install. Any info. is appreciated.

Hubert, you ordered up those bars yet? Tire Rack has the front and rear kits for $415 plus shipping. Still need to hear from someone who has installed them how they fit. Do they fit stock links and mounting points OK without a lot of modification?

I know the front bar is adjustable. Surely some of you dudes have installed sway bars on your W210?

Got 'em!

Sway bars came today from Tire Rack. They look really good. Nice durable finish. Beefier and heavier than stock. Now to find someone that knows what they are doing to install. Will keep you posted.

Jimmy, not sure if pix will do any good. Sway bars will not affect looks. I will provide a detailed report of how the thing handles after they are installed. Way too much body roll with stock bars, even with Eibach springs and E55 AMG Bilstein shocks.

Front bars are adjustable (2 settings). Guess I will start out with "softest" adjustment since the bars are bigger than stock to begin with.

Will let you guys know.

Thanks, I was just wondering about the pics. to see the size difference between these and the OEM ones. I would like a report though on your thoughts...
