Question Sway Bars Clk55

im thinking of changing my sway bars but keeping everything else stock, i like the ride and if i lower the car i cant run 275's anymore

do u think i should do front and back or just front?
i want to get rid of the understeer and the tendency for the car to kill the front tire shoulders when driven hard

any other sugestions?

depends on the weather
doing just the front will increase understeer .... either do the rear or do both

Luke, ur right, ideally it should, but it feel like it rolls too much
causing the front tires to "roll", obviously not by much (low profile), and destroying the shoulders. and by the car rolling too much and transfering all the weight on the outside front tire, the tire gives up.
im thinking if i stiffen the front up it will not transfer as much weight on the out side front.
u c where im coming from?
what do u think?
can u please pm me the prices for the H&R sway bars, front and rear.
i know that the c32 bars work also, if u dont have a listing for clk55 pm me the c32 prices, please
thank u

............the pratical hold back is that I do not think that there are CLK55 sway bars thicker than the stock AMG ones. I have Renntech sway bars on my CLK and thought they were thicker. It turns out that they are simply the same AMG sway bars that were re-packaged by Renntech. The Eibach sway bars are also identical to the AMG ones.

stiffen up the rear and the car will rotate better thus, not forcing the front tires to work as hard reducing the "roll" effect you mention .... more air pressure in the front will also help
