C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
OK all finally! I just ordered the H&R cup kits from Ben at Evosports.
Basically I decided based on that the cup kits will give me a 2 inch in the front and 1.4 in the back vs. the Brabus springs that give 1.5 all the way around. Because the back is not that bad but the front... I can stick my head in there right now
.... I appreciate you all giving me your input specially the people with the springs only. It should be about a 1 week or so Ben told me before I get them so as soon as I do and install them I put some pics up....hay my first Mod! next is the exhaust....
Ridon!!!

I pay retail for all that because I didn't want to save a couple of dollars and have someone else do it. If you do the installation at BRABUS, MB will warrenty the car. EVERYTHING is still under warrenty even if you do the engine swap.

Keyser_Soze: I posted 2 more pics that you requested. I paid retail for the pedals + tax and installation. You have to drill in to the pedals so i didn't want to risk screwing up when i install it my self. So I paid them to install it for me. The Pedals retails for $210.

Thanks a lot for the pictures. Your car looks great 
I can't wait until they have the exhaust for my car 
One last question....it seems that the exhaust tips get skinner before they go into the muffler?! I think this is just becasue of the resolution of the photo?! From what I remember when I visited Brabus their angled tip muffler....the two tips had a constant diameter all the way to the canister (muffler)....is yours like this or does it get a little skinny?!
Sorry to be bothering you so much ....thanks i n advance

Paul,
Thanks for all the pics and sorry for all the trouble I caused you. I found the pic that I was looking for, basically I wanted to see how much if any the tip piping gets thiner, not after the can but just the tip part, but anyways I wannted a shot like the picture I've attached. It was just in your picture since the tips are angled it seemed that the pipes got really skinny, but as I can see in this picture they don't its just looked that way because of angle of the shot you had.
Thanks
