a 3 inch bar?!?!?!?!
Pick up a set of 500E sway bars..they will make a Huge difference... Couple it w/ H&R's and Bilstein Sports. Jonathan

Bigger the better ??? There is always the rule of diminishing returns when it comes to sway bars. 3" diameter is akin to welding an I-beam across the chassis !! As Jonathan said look for a 500E, Sportline, or limo bar... These choices are sized and designed for the 124 chassis...

the weakest link for corning on the 190E/300E/etc. benz is that fully floating front strut mount.
Limo bar is what you want though, skip the 500E front bar, but 500E rear bar is good too. |

Limo front bar (28.5mm) and 500E rear bar (18.0mm).
