Anyone has their catalogue?

I'm thinking about getting the C230K lip spoiler
and Brabus Shock/Spring combo. But how much?

I heard Bilstein/Eibach made their shock and spring so can anyone confirm?

tommy

I'm having the pdf file emailed to me. Also found out that there's a local shop that is a distributor, the same shop that I bought my crx's rims from actually.

If anyone wants the pdf file, let me know. If it's like the pdf file that I received about the c240/320, it'll have prices as well. I might actually have a replacement shift knob on my car by Xmas. Wouldn't that be nice?

I hope that I wasn't missed too much here over the last week and a half.

Any way we can have the moderators let you post it on the board? Right now, only valid file extensions are graphic files and txt files and zip files...can you upload a pdf here?

tommy

I'll think about it. :p

hopup

tommy, what kind of shift knob? brabus aswell? is it for auto or 6spd?
do you know how it looks, i've been looking for one aswel..

I don't believe there is a way to post PDF files to the forum. Only gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg files are accepted.

In order to facilitiate pdf files, some sort of PDF decoder/reader/viewer would have to be built in.

If Tommy can host the pdf file somewhere, he than can link to it through the forums however.

Hopup - it's for the manny. From an article that I read in European Car, it's an aluminum one. I'm hoping that it's a good one, as I'm not too fond of the one (even with the c7 pkg) that is standard. Same article also said that Brabus has a sport steering wheel for the c230 - I might have to put that on the wish list as well.

Sorry, I don't have any webspace, though I've thought about putting together a ccoupe wwbsite (though I'm fairly happy with the available info from here, Edmunds town hall, and benzsport.com). I'm looking forward to the ccoupe getting a bit more settled, so that there'll be people modding the car.

would also be interested in the PDF parts file. Thanks

Just ZIP it and post it as a ZIP.

hopup

tommy- you know if that brabus steering wheel is expensive?
how does it look? wood on it?
if it had alumium trimming or some sort, would match ur c-coupe perfectly!

I just got it. I'll send it out to those who asked for it tonight (my Yahoo email has issues with attachments for some reason, so I'll use MSN from home). It's about the same as the sedan listing.

I got totally hung up on where they can do leather - the idea of leather sunvisors sounds totally cool to me.

I'm going out at lunch to talk to the local authorized dealer, and see if they have any pics of anything, which is the really bad part of the Brabus website.

Also, $3k for the upgrade to 220 hp doesn't sound that bad to me. I'm sure that you can do it cheaper with other firms' stuff, but I trust Brabus more than others. If I find out anything, I'll post it.

Check this lkin out : Click Here ..

This is the Brabus C-Class CV8. Brabus show horned a 5.8 liter V8 into this C Class. What a monster !

Blue Benz

Or just go Here .
How does Brabus do it ? A V-8 into the C-class is a tough job. What a sleeper this car is. That's what I love about Braubs, their cars are fast but they're also very subtle.

Iceman's C230

They are also very expensive $$$$$. That car is almost $150,000 canadian. very sweet though.

madryan

or go here.... haha...brabus ...
this car is my wallpaper.... you can go to supercars.net and get a big pic of it...
brabus claims 426hp ... thats crazy... i hope i get it on tues. morning..

oh yeah... it's in the "news" section

Why not just buy a C32 for $49K and put $5k into engine mods. Same power, but with a warranty.

greg230

1. the cv8 is a unique car, not that the c32 isnt, but you will damn well almost never see another cv8 on the road.

2. i am sure if you can afford a car like that, the idea of "warranty repairs" iis inconsequential to you.

3. start with a v8 platform, and you have a huge amount of room for growth as far as power is concerned, while the c32 is reaching the cusp of its power potential stock. now i am not saying you cant make a c32 even faster. but imagine what kleeman can do to your cv8 with a blower gently nussled somewhere in the v

4. you have run out of expensive things to blow your money on?

Nice engine!

young

its a little hard to read but it says:
6.1 litre engine, 420bhp, 458lb ft torque

i like the mb logoless grill and the hood with the dual air grills. i emailed brabus about the grill - how much, etc and haven't got a reply yet. note that the brabus website has the c-coupe modified but the grill is the same.
