New To MB, Hi everyone
Hi everyone. I am new to MB, and just want to say hello. I just received an a/t 2001 C320 and am excited to see some of the mods out there. The car was one of my mother's work cars, and has approx. 60k miles on it. One owner, well equipped, and got it at an absolutley unheard of price- trust me!
I figure where I will start is wheels, and a drop to close that unsightly gap between the front fender and tire- suggestions?
Here is what I am thinking: SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!!!
18-19inch SSR GT-10 wheels
Lowered suspension
strut bars
sways
CAI (I used conforti for BMW)
underdrive pulleys
exhaust
injectors/software (For BMW we use shark injectors which also removes top speed governor)
Nicer body kit (nothing too outrageous, nothing nopi, thinking AMG) But NO AMG badges or anything IMO
I will use the search option, but have no clue what manufacturers make the best parts for MB, or performance for price. Feel free to make ANY recomendations for any mod!!
Thanks,
David ATL.

Neal should have suggestions for all your parts except the underdrive pulley I think.

What is possible is the front bumper from a 2005/6 C230/C320/C350 Sport Sedan.

Lower with Coilovers like Tein, H&R, etc.
H&R Sway Bars are good
Dont do a CAI, just get Green Filters
Eisenmann, Supersprint, or Weltmiester exhaust
AMG body kit with CF lip
KLEEMANN supercharger!!!

Welcome,
You can find almost all the Information for the mods you'll need in the stickey (Aftermarket/Oem - Modifacations/DIY-FAQ's) in the C class 203 forum, there's plenty of threads that will lead you to the answers.....................
Goodluck and happy moding .................................................. ..........
If you have'nt brought your rims yet 18's would be a better choice performance wize but 19's will look better less side wall more rim to see but greater chance for bending the rim's, you want need a CAI one's already built in to the system, sway bar would be nice compliment to your suspension but i think struct bars for your car would be overkill, there's several choices in the way's of lowering your car this is a personal preference most here use coilovers either Tiens or HR's and or HR cup kits, are you could simply use springs for a less dramatic drop.
That should get you going the rest i'm sure you'll find while surfing enjoy.
Regards Rob AKA Sickwitit

congrats and welcome to the forum.
there isn't really a CAI available for the MB V6 or V8 other than few known brand makes an expensive CF engine cover/airbox. It really doesn't do much. Most people would just change the air filter to either K&N or Green.

go to mbusa.com click on any model of C-class specification page and then go to "Features and Spec" tab and chose 16 year overview history. It has pretty much all info on all cars recently.

Thanks again Frank!
Do you guys know what these cars are goverened at if at all? I have been working so much lately I have not had time to tack my C320 all the way out- plus I am waiting for my SSRs to come in and I dont feel all that safe winding a car all the way out that doesnt have a nice set Z rated low pros on it... Can you blame me?lol
If top speed is electronically limited, what do youall use to bypass it for MBs?

Thanks patrick and rlee. The first thing i will be doing is removing the limiter and resonator. I bet after the limiter is removed these c320s will open up quite well.Right now im researching what the best drop is. I am sort of skiddish to take my friends advice. A lot of them (being fellow college students) think it should be slammed a little too low for my likings. I want a more aggressive drop in the front, and a drop in the back too, definitly, I just dont want to hide my rear tires in the rear fenderwell!!
