w201 rear anti-swaybars?

has anyone come up with a good alternative to the nolonger-available EVOII rear bar? i know that eibach makes the front and rear set for about 6 hundo. i've also heard talk about an AMG rear bar but don't know about specs. or availability. does anyone know if bars from another chassis will fit? the front bars from some different chassis will fit but with modification.

i would really like to upgrade the bars this spring but i don't want to dial in a bunch of understeer with only a 500e bar in the front.

this has been discussed before but without an answer to this specific question.

thanks,

i have the eibach sway bars on my 16v, and it has a really big improvement compared to the stock sway bars. i've heard the Evo II are a bit thicker, but cant seem to find any.

how does the eibach set change the handling characteristics: what's the under/oversteer like compared to the stock 16v bars? and how much did the set reduce body roll? did you have a mechanic install the rear bar or did you DIY?

thanks

i think i forgot to mention i also have the eibach springs and sach bogge shocks so the body roll is a lot less than stock. i bought the car with the setup so im not sure how easy or hard it is to take out the rear sway bar. i did remove the front one to update the bushings. but that one was easy. with the new sway bars, it feels like i have more control and more grip. if you can get the Evo II sway bars, they are a bit thicker and i little less expensive from wut i hear.
