W201 anti-sway bars?

as we all know the EVO II rear bar for the W201 is no longer available from MB without an EVO II VIN#. i just found out that the eibach anti-sway bar kit has been discontinued. the eibach warehouse doesn't have any and none of the online companies have any either. so now what do we do for rear anti-sway bars? i know delsing has a design but no actual products made and the price is prohibitive, so that's out.

i can buy a 500e bar from MB for the front but i don't want to do that without an upgrade to the rear.

does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,

Sparco makes a rear bar its hella expensive tho. I've seen a couple of front and rear bars for the w201 online but never in volume and always expensive.

Might wanna talk to the man Potomac Pat

190e Sways

We are in the process of making 19mm and 21mm rear bars. We should be getting them around June and will be testing them. If everything is good then we will have them for sale at selected dealers. We will also be making the front bars later.

The rear bar is about $100 with bushings. There will also be Adjustable Hiem End Links Available.

and be aware that the D&W rear strut brace does not fit. i bought one and it was too short. when i posted my problem on a few discussion sites i heard the same thing from everyone else who has purchased it. it's too short and there is no way to correctly install it because of this. i'm still trying to get bekkers to refund my money.

rear strut bars?

For those of you looking for rear strut bars, I'd like to know why? Just for looks? Our cars do not have struts in back, there's no loading on the shock towers from the suspension.
