W126 Handling mods?

Anyone got any simple tips on nailing down the 126? Need to stop it pitching and rolling so much in corners.

H&R springs and Koni adjustable shock totaly transformed my car.
The ride will be firmer though if thats a problem.

I have H&R springs and Bilstein shocks and the car handles much better. It does need a stiffer sway bar though which no one makes.

Some guys on the mbcoupes.com mailing list have looked at this and because it's a major drama fitting the new bar, they couldn't get enough numbers to get someone to make a run of custom bars.

I think that if you searched their website you will find all the info on the replacement bars.

I would love a stiffer front bar.

Matt.
