Hello everyone! I have been reading this excellent site for a few days, and must say this place is a wealth of knowledge. After Bill was kind enough to fix my log-in woes, I'm going interactive.

I installed Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs and Bilstien Sport shocks on my 92 400E a few weeks ago. After this install, I had a four wheel alignment.

About two weeks later I added five spoke AMG replica 170 SL 17x8 rims with Michelin 215/45 Sports and am waiting on Sportline sway bars for the front and rear, with new bushings.

Should I have this aligned again with the addition of the sway bars and wheels/tires? It has been about 3 weeks since the last four wheel align.

Also after reading the archives about brakes, I am thoroughly confused. What upgrades do you see on 92 400E's?

Thank you,

Brian W.

Alignment should be done whenever ride height is changed. Anti-sway bars & tires won't change the ride height. Springs will.
