aloha!
New to the boards. Just wanted to say whatsup to everyone. Got an 06 C230 sport sedan. Picked it up last year while living in California. Currently in Utah finishing school. Married, got a little girl, yadayada..... Im switching over from an Evo so I'm completely clueless when it comes to customizing these cars. Any help is appreciated. Mahalo!

just start reading all the long individualized threads to get good ideas of what people have done to their cars.
Be careful, the MOD BUG bites hard. My advice is to read through as much as you can, and then begin your own individualized thread to start documenting your customization progress !
Welcome and Have Fun !!

thanks for the welcome! I picked black. Nice color, just hard to keep clean. LOL! I really want to do some suspension work. Nothing to aggressive. More for the look than anything. Most likely will go with a coilover kit. Looking to spend around $1500. Any suggestions? Also want to pick up some rims. Saw a thread floating around for a group buy on some 19's. They look good plus the price looks reasonable. Anyways, thanks for the welcome!

thanks. I've read here on some of the threads about those who went with tein and kw and they seem to work for them. I've also seen some guys go with h&r. have any experience with the h&r? reason I'm asking is cuz tein, kw and h&r seem to be the few kits that work with our cars but haven't read any reviews on the h&r. just trying to gather info on all kits before I drop some $$ on a kit. Any kind of feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

thanks for the suggestion. I've taken some of the suggestions already and went with the flat emblem instead of the standing one and took the C230 off the back. Sorry, not trying to be a post ****. just excited to get started with some mods!!
