WANTED WTB: 500E coil springs and rear sway bar, for E320 wagon

Re: WTB 500E coil springs and rear sway bar
A set of 500E swaybars sold on eBay a few weeks ago. These are really hard to locate. The rear bar is NLA so you can't get a new one anymore:

Research using a W210 E55 rear bar, although I'm not certain if it will work 124's with SLS like your wagon.
You don't want 500E springs on a 6-cyl car. Trust me. Get the proper Sportline springs for the wagon, they are still available new. Yes the cost more, yes they are worth it.

Is that what you are willing to let them go for?
Rear coil springs 124-324-12-04 are for the 400E, not 500E. The 500E rear springs are NLA. (!!)
Rear sway bar 124-326-24-65 is also for a 400E, not 500E. The 500E rear sway bar is NLA.
500E front springs are $109:

Ok jono I finally got around to dropping the 500e subframe into my wagon. I am installing the rear bar and am up against the well known sls mounting bracket interference issue. I know there is a spacer plate (which I have but doesnt fit the wagon bracket), and I am wondering how most people tackle this, apart from the BFH/brute force approach to massage the bracket into submission. Am I the only guy doing the feind bars in the wagon =:-O
Just to be clear I am in a T124 (wagon).
The bracket is no longer pristine, but the bar is in.
I think some socket cap screws would have been better. The heads on the stock bushing brackets hits the new (larger) bracket, so a socket will no longer fit. Some fender washers would be good also, and are probably mandatory with socket cap screws.
I hit the sls lever control arm bracket with a hole saw and drilled a new hole for the bolt. Fits great. doesnt see much load anyway.
Without a 500e to compare, I didnt realize that the sls valve bracket mounts to the body in a totally different location than the wagon. So the little spacer plate is useless. I think it must mount inside the body, with studs sticking through holes in the body for the bracket nuts. If anyone needs one of those little plates, let me know.
