I couldn't wait to install it.
Tool list:
Jack, stands, wheel chocks.
17mm socket for the tires
17mm wrench to hold the link end
13mm socket for the bushing caps
The R&R guide can be found here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pauldrayton.com/uploadfiles/merc/Service/W123/w123CD2/Program/Chassis/32-310.pdf">http://www.pauldrayton.com/uploadfiles/ ... 32-310.pdf</a><!-- m -->
Note that steps 4/11 can be skipped, the bar will go out and in easily with the exhaust in place. Just spin the bar around so that it is pointing towards the rear. Do not forget to apply new loctite to the bushing cap bolt threads.
Time to complete: 30minutes from the car leaving the ground to the car touching down. Very easy
Now is also the perfect time to upgrade to the metal links, using the plastic links will not hurt,

Cornering is definitely better and much more flat. I haven't taken it to it's limit yet but it seems worth the money so far.

Call the Classic Center and find out (the number is in the picture above). They said there were 5 available in Germany and all 5 were ordered within 3 days. Winmutt and I got one each, who got the other three I have no idea.
