I'm pretty sure they are quoting you the price of the replicas. And I always oppose to buying replica bodykits because they NEVER fit well. By the time you have spent all the money and effort to make that thing fit, you could have bought the real thing already.

For the W203 sedan, Brabus only offers full bumper replacement, there're no add-on lips available.

If you need any assistance in terms of pricing or selection, let me know.

Does BRABUS make a pulley kit for the 2005 C230?

I have searched the forums and can't find a definitive answer. I looked at the Brabus website and it didn't list any, but it seems odd that they wouldn't offer it since there competitors do so... maybe their site is not updated.... anyway.... Do they make a pulley upgrade?

I'm also interested in the Brabus suspension. Do any of you have experience with it? [springs and shocks]

I have searched for this as well and I can't find any opinions on the Brabus suspension.

I'm looking at Brabus because I would like to stick to one company for all my upgrades... I dunno why... Just feels better I guess [IMO].

Any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanx!
~Brad

A performance kit... Like renntech's kit... it says:

Performance Package 2
ECU Performance Upgrade**
& Larger Crankshaft Pulley Kit

I was hoping some one might know if Brabus has one like that.

Did you look at their American or German website? It seems that sometimes things are offered in Germany/Europe that aren't necessarily offered over here. There is a greater selection across the pond due to the people having smaller engines because of the gas prices and taxes. Just use ".de" when looking and click on the Union Jack in order to be able to read it. HTH

Brabus has a kit, it's called the K4
Carlsson has a kit, it's called the CK20

Be prepared to shell out over 2K for either.
