Will Eibach sway bars void my warranty?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I like the Eibachs at tirerack.com.

Will I have issues with MB service?

Thank you.

I agree. To me it seems like the Eibach swaybars would be an improvement, but I am not an engineer.

I don't like the color; perhaps it will be a red flag?

I want them.

Who knows what is the color of the sway bar except you (or the one who installs them)? If you are fussy enough, you may paint it again!! From what I've heard, Eibach sway bars might not be the best solution.....may I ask what model are you driving?

Talking

I just received a 2003 C230 coupe. Handling is more important to me than power; learned that from personal experience...

Want this thing to handle. First choice is AMG sways, but if I can be convinced, I will go with Eibach.

Still deciding.

The easy was to convince yourself which sway set is better is to go drive a car with each. There must be a few members in your area with both AMG & Eibach sways.


I have the Eibachs

If you have a problem with your MB and if the dealer see that you have non official parts on it, it can refuse to use the warranty. I don't know how it is in USA, but in France they're really strict with that. Only Brabus can be accepted ( and even with that you can meet problems).
