1990 w126 350SDL turbo and suspension

I am trying to find someone that sells anti-sway bars (front and rear) for my 350sdl. I would like to tighten up my suspension before looking at upgrade the turbo so I thought someone here could point me in the right direction. I get a lot of hits off google but for later models.

Careful with that motor. Its known to have serious rod issues at very low miles. As for bars? No one really offers any still. A guy used to make custom bars a while ago but I have long lost track of who he was. Get a set of bilstein sports and some lowering springs in addition to a set of 16 inch wheels. That would be the best upgrade.

The front bar is a pain to take out since it goes through the body.
If you did take it out a good spring shop should be able to make a stiffer bar for the front, using the old one as a template. The rear is different especially if you have the self leveling suspension in it.
