Id like to get tighter turns on my w212- was thinking of adding a sway bar- what are your thoughts?
how hard is the install- easy enough for a nube?
what would be an avg budget for part and labour you would estimate?
Thanks

That’s pretty awesome let me see what I can find- how is it simple to reach - unscrew and screw a new one in- or is there a lot of digging I have to do to get to the sway bars?

These torsion springs are fairly exposed easy to reach at the bottom near the wheels.
Better suspensions are a great idea. MB offers many styles suspension on different chassis.

Not sure if your model is offered with a "Sport" option like my C350 Sport. If you have the Luxury option, you may want to see what the Sport option offers, just to keep everything factory. It would really help if you list the year of your car and where you are in the world.
I only swapped in a bigger sway bar on one vehicle. Otherwise I had good luck with urethane bushings and links made with rod ends, Both tighten it up so the bar can do it's thing rather than those parts flexing and taking away from it.
Not sure how the Benz is setup under there, I never payed attention to mine, but maybe that's worth a try?

The part number for my SL400 is A2313201411, which is not helpful here. I am curious what the part number is for the SL550 or others. The one thing I found interesting is that it is tubular. Saves weight while being just as effective a a solid bar.
You may want to consider upgrading your wheel/tire combo first. Lowering the center of gravity of your vehicle with lower profile and wider tires will help cornering.

Sway bar- thoughts?
