it depends entirely on your budget...but heres what i would get:

there is no M272 pulley
KLEEMANN Headers
Speed Innovation ECU
TEIN Basic Coilovers
whatever rims you can afford...BBS is nice.
whatever tires you can afford...PS2's are good
C32 AMG Brakes, or SLK55 AMG brakes (if you want bigger)
there is no M272 s/c
EISENMANN Race Exhaust!

JL makes good subs...i'd go with two 10W6's
two JL 500/1 amps
Eclipse AVN5495 Double Din touchscreen DVD/NAV w/ 30GB HDD

what model is C230SS? I assume you got 6 cylinders

pulley: Kleemann (if they have it) appropriate boost, good built, expensive but a lot cheaper than Brabus or Carlsonn.

Header: Kleemann make nice header that replace the down pipe and catalytic converter as well. Thats why it gives lot s of hp. However, its on expensive side.

ECU: dont know about US tuners, but I got mine from Swiss tuner, and it works wonder with the pulley upgrade.

Suspension: go for coilover if you want the lowest drop. From what i heard TEIN is very stiff...if you like better handling and dont care about bumpy ride then TIEN is your weapon of choice. However I would recommend KW coilover if you dont mind the price .

Exhaust: Eisenamnn seems popular in the US, have no comment on it. My Kleemann exhaust gives noticable hp gain but damn loud.

SOundsystem: JL subs are nice I got 2 10W6v2 and it sounds great. If you want loud get Kicker, JL is more musical. Dont waste money on your hi end front just get 24bit front and get Pre-amp Zapco sxsl II..you will thank me later.
