W203 coupe (2003)
Having already got the Eibach lowered springs fitted, I've been quite happy with the ride. It's firm without being uncomfortable.
I still felt though that 'turn-in' on bends could be sharper, so I decided to try the Anti-roll bar kit.
There was a problem with the kit when it arrived because the front bushes were the wrong ones, but Eibach sent the correct ones within a few days.
The bars look very well made and the front has a choice of two holes for each drop link - effectively making it adjustable. I've opted for the 'softer' setting.
Picked the car up tonight from the garage and took it on a 15 mile drive.
Wow! Amazing difference. Turn's in so much sharper now with very little steering input. It feels like they fitted a quick-rack at the same time!!
The car is now handling pretty much how I like it.
I just have to try to find time to get to Wheels in motion to get all the alignment done.
I'll add any relavant coments when I've driven a few miles on different surfaces, but for now...It's a big thumbs up!!!
-Just to add. I've never been happy with the rear ride height of the car since fitting the lowered Eibach springs. I discovered that the rear perches were 1 burl
. Last week, I had the standard 3 burl ones fitted and that has sorted the problem.
