I have the Kleemann K23 Power Alloy Kit and looks about the same. YEP it has two pullies...one crank and one accessory. Kleemann price $900. I'm sure you can get a nice entire exhaust system (w/ sport cat?) for the remaining $2 grand.

*BTW Brabus had a huge showing in Houston TX past 2 weekend of their entire line at the autoshow...very nice....expensive but nice.

Anyone else noticed this? Brabus of North America is now selling on E-Bay!They only have two completed auctions, so it must be new to them. Whodathunkit?

Is that legit?

They look basically like the spam that I've gotten with respect to their Spring sales.

So, does that mean that Brabus is having sales difficulties, or just that they're expanding? Interesting.

I guess sales are a bit slow

i will be LMAO if someone bid higher than the retail price

I just dont know what is going on with Brabus NA. The world's biggest car tuning company is selling their products on eBay???? I have already received a couple of calls from my clients saying "what's the story with Brabus on eBay, I thought you told me Brabus NEVER give out discounts?" I really dont know what to answer!

IMO, they have made the biggest mistake ever! It will only hurt the image of their company.

tommy

The guy I talked to said that they're just trying it out to get rid of excess inventory on some items.

The spam email is the same thing, just slightly different media.

My answer would be, "they're selling older stuff. enjoy the savings." MB discounts 2002s - does that take anything away from them that they can't sell older models at msrp? It's business, that's all. Better than writing off the entire amount, isn't it?

Harris

They are not only selling older stuff. They are selling W209 NEW CLK lowering springs!! That is just ridiculous. Their start price is even lower than the wholesale price! I dont mind them getting rid of their overstock items, but please, not with those pricing. Who is going to order from dealers from now on?

I was going to buy a set of H&R lowering springs from Ebay for $215 but then I saw the Brabus Lowering Springs for the W203 for $275 so I bid, getting a set of Brabus for only $50 more is ok in my book

Scylas

and u guys complain.. whats wrong with you?, Brabus will always be Brabus, they make reliable and good products, does it matter how they sell them?

tommy

Alright, who's the jerk who let me think that I could get the doorsills for $350, right up until the final seconds of the auction.

That sh*t ain't right!

This is a funny post if you look at tommy's avitar and read it in Cartman's voice. BTW-Not me!

vyse

Woah, ML-class bodykit for only $1600?? Even a fibreglass replica costs $700-800!

SLK320 exhaust for $95?? They must be joking! I just searched some no-name generic mufflers and they cost $100 on average!

gab

i wonder the doorsills fit the coupe? i thought it only fits the sedan?

Hi
Does anyone know Brabus make their own springs or from other manufacturer?


thanks

brabus c

im not really sure but i always thought they just slap their name on other springs.. i think its that same as eibach... but either way it says brabus on it and the brabus cup kit is not too bad...price list says $1,275 but you can always get it cheeper...and it says "comfortable setting. incl. 4 shorter BRABUS sport springs and 4 BRABUS sport shock absorbers"

Currently the E, CLK, SL,G, face-lifted S and CL are all part of the brabus quad-light family. Do you guys think that they will design a new front for the C?

The C was face-lifted for 2003 right?

I've noticed that the Brabus Springs on ebay from Brabus are pretty low in pricing. I was just wondering though compared to the H&R springs or any other brand, they claim that their's is the highest rated. I'm sure that others claim that too, but is that true? I don't know too many people who got those ones. However, the people with the H&R set don't complain. Does it really toughen up the ride a lot? How much does the springs void the warranty?

hi

from what i hear...brabus just use other manufacturers spring and put their names on it....but im not sure

but some also say brabus springs and any other tuner springs will be softer in ride than H&R,eibach and the kind...


although you change the srings u wont notice that much of a difference in a BEMZ....my bro and fren changed the springs but ride is still soft....

but its different case in BMW>...the ride is harsh stock..and even harsher with springs

mike82y

Have any of you guys actually have called them up asking about the auktion?? hope this is not a fraud...

They already have 2 positives on there feedback, so I think its legit

Matt230K

No face lift yet, that will probably be in 2004. They did add the bi-xenon lights though, and that gives it a different appearance.

tommy

Yes, it is legit.

And yes, I am an idiot. I totally spaced out when I bidded on the sills. I did end up getting them - was the loser, but they honored my "up-to" bid (seems that they have too many), so I bought 'em without thinking about the sedan/coupe differences.

So now, gotta call them tomorrow to see if we can work out an exchange when I receive the sedan sills. I was in a daze from working too damn much on our financials. Also ordered a steering wheel and door pins. Which is good, since I'm so tired of the feel of the stock wheel. Anyone want to buy a C7 charcoal steering wheel?

QC1

Man I cant believe there selling a SLK320 exhaust for $95, god I hope they sell some more w203 stuff

Matt230K

Yeah, I wish it was a C-coupe exhaust for that price. The SLK320 does not even need it in my opinion. It already has a very nice sound.
