The whole ASP pulley, including the stock core, is, as of today, US$650. Air mail to HK maybe US$50?
Yes the AMG sway bars are the stock C32 ones. As I remember, there aren't many pot holes on the roads in HK so both Eibach and AMG won't give you any discomfort. But since you already have the Eibach springs, maybe also get their sways to make a full set.

AMG kit include installation HK$20,000 (from speedline)
AMG exhaust include installation HK$6,500 from gtsport
AMG brakes include installation HK$8,000, I think you can get them around HK$5,500 from gtsport
Eibach suspension HK$10,000 from Kwun Tong
Mine is not ZF car, I've got sunroof, parktronic, memory electric front seats.

one more thing, since you are planning to change the sway bars and you have changed the Eibach springs, do you plan to sell your Avantgrade springs and sway bars and if yes, how much are you willing to sell?'
Thanks

Thanks so much for your help. Do you have the phone numbers where I can find your springs? Also, do you know if the shocks and sway bars is different between Elegance and Avantgarde?
Meanwhile, did you feel more power with the K&N installed?
Thanks again!

You are partly right, there arent many pot holes here but the thing is the gov likes to dig the road, every here and there the roads are under repair or construction
I suppose Eibach is a better choice, right? anyway how much did you pay for yours???

I got my AMGs for $200, while some people got them for $180 or less. The Eibachs are $375 I think??
Do you race at night?

Does your car have Xenon? If not, why not install them? It costs HK$3500 installed and they are very good!

I cant tell you whether power is incresaed or not cos even if it will be a fraction.
But think about it this way, it only cost you HK$600 and according to its instructions provided you use and clear it probably it will last up 1,000,000 miles so I believe it worth changing it?
Is yours AV or EL??

Thanks, I think I should give it a try then. Mine is a classic but almost full options:
Electric seats with memory left and right
Glass moonroof
Parktronic
Thermotronic climate control
rear doors airbag
electric adjustable steering column
rain sensor
Modifications so far:
Xenon aftermarket (Philips) 8000K (nice!!!!)
Bosch dim lights
Avantgarde front Gill
Avantgarde sport wheels with 225/50/16 tires
Future up-grades:
Rear sunshade
K&N filter
Maybe pulley, bilstein sport shocks with AMG spring and sway bars
I didn't go for the Avantgarde because I think the price is not worth it. It costs HK$80000 more. I think these saving of HK$80000 is a large amount and you can make the car with all the AMG kits, muffler, wheels, brakes, suspensions with this HK$80000 etc......
Do you think if it is possible that we can change the crankshaft and make our car to 2.3L and I think that will give us another 30HP, it's like C230 Kompressor! I love to increase my cars power and go out and beat some 330i and A4 3.0!

Not exactly, but I know there is a so called "sunday morning drive" featuring all the nice cars, ie porsches and ferraris
Whereas I know from time to time people with Lotus Elise will organise some "nite racing" also BMWs but never heard of MB
I guess we should organise a MB drive.....

Paging Bajaiman
Hey, you from Sydney as well I believe.
Just a few questions about your Kleeman mods.
1)How much?
2) Where did you buy and installed the kits?
3) What about the issues with factory warranty?
I have asked Milan before @ Artarmon about Carlsson and he said he is able to do the Carlsson pulley kit and retain factory warranty because it is MB who actually does in the installation. He wanted me to pay $4000 including fitting but excluding GST for the kit...I thought it was a bit too much...

2. You can ask Kleemann if you wanna get one, for installation I had a mechanic in Alexandria to do the job.
3. I’ve got no issues so far (LARGE KNOCK ON THE WOOD) after pulley installation and I prefer to keep it that way
For $4000 for Carlsson kit??….too much I’d say…. For the same price you can get Kleemann ring pulley, Powerchip and bi-xenons

Price??...you have to ask Steve for that one but I can tell you that his price is very reasonable.
PM me if you need more info.

Hey pcbchow
Is yours a retrofit? I have seen the pics of your ride with the AMG zhorst which means it can definitely fitted into the 200K.
Btw, where abouts do u live in HK? I should be coming back in about 3 months for holidays, maybe we could meet and shop for some goodies
I get mine for HK$5,500 which is about 1100 aussie dollar it not loud at all, I guess its the same as your Remus NO NOTICABLE difference,
