Information less bounce for the ounce.
Where to buy Brabus Springs?
Your opinions?
Looking for 2 inches plus comfy luxury ride. I understand some will be lost.

Is there a stiffer front sway bar than stock 350SDL-turbo?

Would requesting shocks of a 500 be better valving for the weight?
Your opinions?
Has any one seen any home brew strut tower braces or control ARM braces*

If yours is the w126 you can get sport shocks and h&r lowering spring (or any number of other manufacturers, look at tire rack).

Tire rack is too pricey. Your paying too Much to the distributor.

Sway bars? I hear a lot of talk about stiffer sways on 500's but only for 124. Any options out there for me?

The 560 SEC? has 19mm sway in the rear. I am guessing upgraded in front as well. I took one off at the junkyard for my W123 but it is 2cm too wide Sad. Sold it to mtbguy @ benzworld cpl years back.
