I'll wait until mid april to see what FP will do about their springs... if no news then I'll go R springs and rear sway-bar.

I wouldn't wait for the FORD performance springs. They are lowering springs and FP will not release any specs. I've already asked them 100s of times. Unless you just want to lower the car.
Eibach makes lowering springs also and they give specs.

Food for thought! I dont really want lower I want improved handling. My wallet needs a break anyways! In a week I ordered 2 Schroth Profi II ASM's, a SHR Flex, 4 wheels + tires + TPMS + Ceramic coating, a Pressure bleeder, and a couple of other little goodies... I need to keep credit available to take wife out for Valentines Day!

The car is shipped to dealer with these blocks installed. The dealer is supposed to remove. Mine forgot / did not remember. The fronts can be removed w/o raising the car. The rear is a different matter. The car needs to be raised mainly for access as I recall.

Hmm question are you assuming lowering springs will handle worse?

I may get flamed for asking this because it's all been stated in random places before, but what the hell......What are the differences between the 350 and R rear springs and sway bars? If memory serves me correctly only the rear bar is different, and the difference is length? If one were to upgrade to the R springs and sway bars, what other supporting parts are needed? I figure aftermarket end links will work?

Again, sorry for asking what's already been stated, but this seems to be a good spot to put together a concise list of what the entirety of the conversion is. Thanks in advance.

No need to be sorry, it's quite confusing actually and I also am trying to figure out what's needed/not needed.

The R rear sway bar and rear sway bar bushings are bigger. The rear springs measure the same rate but have different part numbers. Most likely 1/4-3/8" shorter.

Hallelujah! Thanks for summing it up. Unbeliveable how cheap the parts are! Coming from AMG the same parts would probably by 3000$!
