i know they work, but to each action there is an opposite reaction right?

have you thought about getting a rear spoiler, i can't keep noticing that your avatar image, the car looks rather square at the back, better get the Hamman,now!!! i think GT have it in stock at Kln bay
The improvement could be obvious, god, look at the mass of the thicker bar!! The mass of the bar means virtually everything in terms of performance!! Not just looking at the diameter!!

The draw back is the car become much more solid just like a piece of concrete, therefore bigger stress on chassis (should be fine for modern cars' standard) and tyres (Your Goodyear top of the line model should do okay for that).. IMO if you don't drive like what caption does in TMS 5 days in a week, your car will be just fine.

Sorry that I have mastered my resist on modding my car. Those attacks have no effect on me.

Oh! the bars are the same for both E250 coupe or E500 coupe (depends on different packages when you do the car purchase), so if you wanna improve your car's handling, think no further, call Tony at Valiant Auto and tell him Small Tomato introduced you about this upgrade!

Disclaimer, I am not Valiant's employee nor anyway related to this company, I'm just a friend of Tony and he's been so helpful to share with me those info.

They are not 3rd party parts, it's genuine Mercedes-Benz parts available from local importer!

Hello did you said something about my car? Hello? Sorry it's a bad line here! helloooooooo?

this applies to this car, there is a new bigger rear spoiler but i already get too much harassment from other drivers of modd'd cars, esp as they see it is a MB they think i'm a old man, i might keep it as it is.
How come you always get all the fun.
I dont get harassment in my ACS5 but funny thing some time I do in my LCI 1, mainly MB

I know the CF did not fit from 2005
a member got them back then.

So you are saying that every CF part does not fit?!? I guarantee that is not the case...

You dont know where I order my parts so its very hard for u to say u know everything.

can't rule out the possibility that there are new CF parts after you and Derrick tried. so we'd better not pretend to be Yoda.
