But as far as I remember, your go-fast mod for the W203 was to get a 45K+ M3... I believe you've made minimum, son!

The W203 & W209 DTM's will always be beauties !
The W201 & W202 DTM's weren't pretty but still timeless racers !
The W204 DTM I'm sure will be killer, but it won't be because of it's headlights or grill !


sorry for the thread-jack, Drex

That was no problem, Johnny. I figured, why let other people go through the agony that I had to just to get freaking swaybars on...LOL.

I thought flip would have to do the same thing too, but he ended up not having to.

No worries, Carlos. All the So-cal peeps have seen my car in person already, so I don't mind the conversations continuing until I post up my next mods...(which will hopefully be ordered and done by June...hopefully).

Not sure if it makes a difference, but Jose's front bars are for 10mm endlinks, not 12mm like the AMG's.

Yeah the size of the endlinks for me wasn't the primary concern - it was about the bushing that people usually had to replace for non-AMGs... but I had C7 package and everything bolted on dandy.

coilovers exactly what you need for your driveway... just set it at slightly lower than stock height.

don't forget exhaust too.

Dam.. I got a brand new stock exhaust after my accident, too bad the auto shop would only replace the same stuff that was damaged.. I would've gotten an exhaust like yours
