Need some help guys.
I'm holding myself back from modding my car any further but the mod bug has reared its ugly head again.
So I am thinking about 3 potential mods I would wanna do.
1.) H&R Springs
2.) ARKYM front lip
3.) Hold off and wait until the Eisenmann race exhaust comes out.

My vote is definitely for 3. I think it'll be the most satisfying choice for you too once you get it. Besides, you get to boast for the first few weeks/days that you were the first among the pack with the Eisenmann exhaust for the C63.

(I'm still trying to fathom how much they will have improved on the stock C63 exhaust, which already sounds absolutely beastly)

I think you can't compare these mods. The springs cost about $400 + install. The Arkym lip is what, $500?

The Eisenmann exhaust will probably cost around the price of Akrapovic... which is insane.
Just buy the springs, install them, get the lip and worry about the Eisenmann stuff later

listen to this very smart man . don't waste your money on purchasing a mod that is going to cost you a ton of money with minimal gain . start small and work your way up from there . if you spend big $$$$ on an exhaust and you don't like the way it sounds when you get it installed , you are basically shooting yourself in the foot . i'm betting that the exhaust is going to cost you the price of the springs w/ install , a front lip and a tune ( which , by the way , is essential on this car ) .

good luck with whatever you decide but please do some research first

Jae Duk

Agreed!! Cost difference among them is absurd although I would like the Eisenmann exhaust. But I wonder if there are any power gains.

Roswell

Agreed with Matt... springs & lips is very minimal in terms of dollars compared to the exhaust. I love the stance of my H&R & CF front lip, small mod with a huge improvement in term of look. :P

Sincity

My vote is also for the springs. The lip doesn't really do much other than a visual mod and the stock exhaust is decent.

I checked once more and saw that the Arkym CF lip is about $1300 so that's not cheap. The PWC version is less than half the price.

On a side, if I recall correctly you have an X-pipe and an OE tune ?
I don't think the Eisenmann exhaust will be any better perfromance and sound-wise from what you have now. Maybe the sound will be more refined but no drastic difference. I personally don't like the sound of the Akrapovic exhaust at all. On the other hand, long-tube headers are way too loud for me - even with silencers. I think you have the best possible exhaust setup available

I think 1 and 2 is the best choice.... I dont think you really need 3 because of what you have done to ur exhaust ur car already sounds sick

exdes

Doesn't matter.
You'll eventually do all three.

Thanks for the advice guys I will probably go with choices 1 and 2.
The Eisenmann exhaust is really sweet but I know it will cost alot.
Ill probably go with that setup later on.

_AMG_

Yup, I have the OE tune and MBH X pipe. Im not a fan of the Akrapovic sound either, but all the Eisenmann exhausts ive heard sound very aggressive especially the race. That is one of the reasons why I would wanna go with the Eisenmann setup, but I knw the price is gonna be up there.

just use your budget for the eisenmann exhaust to fix your driveway (too high) so you can get the lip! but of course get the HR springs too.

Go worth the H&R first. Small mod, big gain! Go to FX Dresign, they do it fast and inexpensive.

dr_brains510

Do all of them and then get some NOS!

danlnyc

I couldn't help but laugh at the "reared its ugly head again" for some reason hahah.

I agree with the rest, get the springs and lip first

_AMG_

I will give them a call. Ive heard great things about them.
Thanks

Haha I remember telling you about my driveway at March Madness. I took the Eisenmann exhaust out of the equation so its definitely springs and lip for sure.
How you been man?

Ohh ya definitely, why don't I throw the Wiestec Supercharger in there too for sh*ts and giggles.

Haha
I'm goin with the springs and lip for sure. Just gotta do some little modification to my driveway so I don't scrape the lip constantly.

Roswell

^^ +63 ... FX Design has the best customer service. Got my H&R springs from them, and it took less than a week to received them from California to Canada.

DuaneC63

Are you guys happy with just the H&R spring or do you wish you had installed the H&R coil over set up. Were you able to get a stock alignment with the springs? Anybody know the stock alignment specs on a C63 (non P30)?

Roswell

I'm happy with the H&R springs only, I wanted something not too low so I don't scrape my front lip everywhere.

My car is not pulling left or right after the drop, so I'm in no rush to get it aligned... I will do so during my service A & will post the specs if I have access to the infos. But I highly doubt we can get the OEM specs after the alignment as the rear camber cannot be adjusted.

JeffDL

springs.


(whoring that pic car looks clean for once)

1 and 2 is my choice, if i was looking for some sound and performance you can't go wrong with long tube header.
