Don't get me wrong, the 500E rear and stock front bars don't make a snap oversteer. They simply dial out enough of the understeer to make the car much more predictable. It will go where you steer it, at least relative to a stock bar'ed car. For me it's just an extremely pleasant handling car and gives up no ride quality with the improvement.

Some folks don't like this kind of set up because it doesn't address body lean. In my book, body lean means NOTHING! The car going where you steer it means EVERYTHING! Even with stock suspension a 124 does not have a bunch of body lean. It's not like driving a Chevy Caprice or a pick up or something. It's not as flat as a Porsche either, but for a luxury sedan it makes a really pleasant car to drive by the simple stiffening of the rear bar.


I personally would not use the shorter shocks on stock springs. The HD's work great with stock springs.
