good choice, i have the 01 240 myself... its a fun, fast car. If you have any problems with it, search the forum.. There are tons of helpful threads that I personally have used in the 1 year of owning my car. I've referenced this site prob 100 times since finding it

Oh yes modding has become my life in my other car. I would really like to just slam this thing and put it on some AMG wheels. But thats what we all say....

id like to slam mine too, except i dont want it it slam into curbs when i pull into buildings from main roads.. FL sucks.. some of the other members here say its OK to lower it in FL, but I say no. The part of florida where I am at is hell for a lowered vehicle.. I had a '99 monte carlo lowered and the damn thing scraped everyday when I left the driveway... Now that my drive is painted, i can't scrape or i will have to spend $$$ to get the patterns fixed

I was thinking the same thing. But welcome and be sure to search the forum before you ask questions. If you find a thread that has the info, bring that one up, then ask your question. Wizkid is sure to be your buddy, he has some good tech on his installuniversity.com site.
