V1, Sport springs and aftermarket sway bar?

Hey guys,

Picked up the E300 sedan (in Hong Kong) a few days ago, and have some mods want to work on:

1. hardwiring the V1 -- so the fuse box is located in the trunk, is there anyway to hardwire it?

2. H&R has some sport springs for the W212:

has anyone installed them yet? mine has the standard suspension.

3. Are there any after market sway bar for w212 yet?

4. Is there anyway to adjust the "weight" of the steering wheel? it feels too light even in sport mode.

many thanks! (sorry im new to mercedes...)

cool. I will try to hardwire the V1 to the cig lighter tonight then.

We have those really steep slopes in the parking lot in HK that I'm scratching the rear mud guards everyday. so I'm not sure if i should lower it

anyways, here is a snap shot of my palladium silver:

Beautiful car! I have P silver too but I never though it would look nice like that in the shade!
