W124 Wagon Suspension Upgrade

[Karl W]

Hi there,

I'm running a W124 Wagon, I'm wanting to reduce the the body role. Does anyone know if the front anti role / Swaybar from a R126 SL500 will fit a W124 as these are around 50mm compaired with the 28mm standard bar.

Thanks for reading

I used a 500SL sway bar on my 190E race car, required a bit of adaption.
One of the best things you can change is the front shocks.

Use either sportline shocks or Bilstein Sport shocks.

I'm currenly running H&R springs with 40mm drop to the rear 60mm to the front. The front strut tops have been braced. I've managed to scorce a Sportline Swaybar it's not much larger than the stock item, so thought might not really be worth fitting. Shock I'm using Sportline at the front's and Boge heavy duty on the rear due to the SLS. If I can find a cheep SL R126 swaybar it'll make it worth messing with to make it fit.

You're right. The TE and Sportline rollbar are the same size.

Thanks for confirming that, I'll go the SL route when I can get hold of a cheap role bar.
