Default Sway Bars on a C230

I was wondering if any of you have put sway bars on their C230?

I want to to improve the overall suspension of the car and was thinking about starting there. I thought about getting the H&R coilover kit but thats pretty expensive compared to the sway bars. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The C230's ( both 202 and 203 chassis ) already have front and rear sway bars. You can always swap in larger sway bars if you wish.
For example, I know one person with a '99 E300D that took the front and rear sway bars from aE55 as well as the coil springs and transferred them over to his car. He had to buy new bushings and brackets for the sway bars to account for the larger diametre of the bars but otherwise everything went right in.

H&R and Eibach makes most reputable sway bars.

Where is the sway bar for the front?? I see where one could bolt on under the hood (not sure how it would fit, looks like a tight squeeze).

It is located at the bottom. The one you put inside the hood is called strut bar.
