Yes, I would be getting the swaybar as well eventually. The brakes will definitely be installed as well from an E55 (now that you remind me, I forgot about that). Wheel size won't be a problems since I'll be installing a set of 18" Enkeis on there. All parts will be new. I never install used parts on any of my cars. I'd rather spend the extra money and not go cheap on a Mercedes and install half-life parts.

Considering the spindles are the same between E55 and other W210s, and aftermarket lowing springs for E55 also claim to fit E320 and E430, I would think you're good.

Sounds good. Would know how much of a difference in ride height it will be with installing E55 springs? I'll have 18 wheels on there, and they will look terrible with the stock springs unless I slightly lower it.
