C230 Sport Sedan

I'm seriously considering a c230 Kompressor sedan.. can anyone show me what performance mods are out there for it? Does it have alot of potential? Also, what visual mods are out there? Thanks!

are you looking for OEM or aftermarket. most of my mods are OEM. they arent really visual, but arent performance. more gadgets i guess.

there are alot of things you can do with the C230, whether you want OEM or after market. lots of potential IMO.

There are very few "performance" mods for the M271 engine, which is the 2003 + engine (1.8 L). There's always the aftermarket exhausts and/or aftermarket wheels available. And you could also get the various sway bars (i.e. AMG, Eibach, H&R)

There is a pulley kit in development by EvoSport and Kleeman already offers a pulley kit.

What I suggest is trying the "search" function and use the "advanced search". I started a "suspension" thread if you search for "suspension" and specifically link it to my user name.

If you do different searches for specific types of performance mods that you would like to consider, you should be able to find some good information.

So generally speaking, there are 1 (almost 2) pulley kits available, a few exhaust set ups, a few wider wheel set ups, and a few suspension set ups (including the sway bars I listed above).

Hope that helps.

Look for performance kits under "tuning products". Pricing fluctuates because I'm in Miami and the nearest Kleemann dealer is in Orlando and they quoted me at $2350 with installation.
