my project weekend

So friday doing service A on the wife's e 350 coupe

My car saturday. Planing on rear carbon diffuser, shorty headers and k&n's. The e63 wheels and pacers. Depending on time and if the rotors show. Front brembo rotors, stainless lines and amg calipers.

Than track on sunday... Hoping for sub 12.5's

the diffuser will probably shave anywhere from .2 to .5 off your time.

anyone have an explode diagram of the rear suspension?

I have to do some R&R work on my rear suspension components. If anyone has an explode out of the manual with the legend of the parts so I can see what I need to get I would really appreciate it.

The differential itself is getting delivered tomorrow.

i figure at least that from the diffuser. ))

The headers are some off brand, its actually a local company that had them. I was deciding on buying them because of that. But my friend bought a bunch from them for his cts-v and that thing dyno'd at like 750 hp.

So for the price i got them at i couldnt pass. Screw the $4700 from renntech and kleemann's are on back order for maybe 6 months.

So these have to be better than stock but im not expecting the same as say the renntechs, but they are a 10th of the price.

Renntech is outrageous on prices. Kleemann's headers are best for money. I think Eurocharged makes headers for our cars too but you gotta call and make sure they'll fit. They're shorty headers.

I saw on the CLK55 forums that they make it for those cars and I think they would fit our cars, not 100%. Best to call Eurocharged. I ordered my tune and should have it this week to give my impressions.
