Evosport | New Rear Stability Kit for E/CLS/SL-Class

Simon @ Evosport · #1 03-08-2010, 11:09 PM

One of the weak points in many of today's high performance Mercedes-Benz vehicles is the lack of, or extreme limitation in rear toe adjustment. This results in an undesired "toe out" condition when the rear of the vehicle is loaded up or on throttle. The effects are a very unstable or unplanted rear end with excessive over-steer that does not seem to want to grip. This is even more noticeable on modified vehicles where a lot of torque to the rear wheels is realized in low gears and in the low rev range. Since there is no practical toe adjustment in the factory suspension components, even the best alignment is unable to mitigate this issue.

The Evosport Rear Stability Kit (Adjustable Rear Toe Kit) is designed to address these issues. Installing the Rear Stability Kit will provide the ability to easily and properly adjust the rear toe during alignment to mitigate the "toe out" situation and provide added stability and safety to the vehicle. The chassis will feel much more planted and controllable, especially during heavy acceleration.

Kit includes left and right stability arms and mounting hardware.

Application: W211 E-Class (all), W219 CLS-Class (all), R230 SL-Class (all, except SL65 Black Series)

Nice. I was thinking the other day my 350z felt so much more stable even though my SL55 is much faster. This might solve my problem now. How much is the kit and how long is the installation going to take? Thanks.

Just saw the link for the price but still wondering how long it's going to take to install.

They can be installed in about 1 hour. It's recommended to have the alignment shop then set them for proper toe.

Thanks. Would you recommend LSD or this if can only choose one at once?

That really depends on the vehicle setup and your driving style. The arms are a third of what the LSD would run installed (takes 10-11 hrs to install LSD). I like the immediate functional upgrade the arms offer since the Merc chassis is very soft.
