W124 swaybars
If you want an amazing, complete list of the bars for a W124 go to
http://www.meimann.com/images/mercedes/W124_stuff/
and download the file
MB_124_swaybars.xls or MB_124_swaybars.pdf
It seems that everyone is pushing for the Mercedes bars instead of the Eibach bars that "are specifically engineered for our cars". I don’t quite understand why everyone is "steering" clear of the after market bars when we use their other parts. We all buy after market springs and shocks, but everyone seems to think the Mercedes bar is better. The Eibach bars come with polyurethane bushings, which is considered a good thing. The Eibach front bar is 28mm end to end, with no taper, so I suppose it will be very stiff and the car will be very flat. I understand that different materials could make the tapered E500 bar stiffer, but I’m not sure anyone has actually tested it. I am just curious about everyone’s opinions. Thank you for all the help.

1991 (W124) 300E 4Matic
looking at the listing of sway bars for the 124, there's nothing on here that says it won't fit a 4Matic. Would the one for the 90-92 300E fit my '91 300 4Matic? (Part number: 124-323-55-65)
