W203
I used SACHS shocks and springs. They are a manufacture who supplies springs and shocks for Mercedes and Brabus.
http://www.sachs-race-engineering.de/
The product line I used is called Sachs Performance. It lowered the car for 1.4" approximately.
The riding comfort is good and the handling quality is good. Quite impressed.
I will think about the exhaust again. Actually this Viper style is the most expensive in the three options they have for W203. Maybe I changed to Brabus exhaust. It looks quite nice but I don't want to Brabus my car. Anyone use Remus? (www.remus.at)

C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
Hay your car looks nice.
Hay! What the hell kind of W203 you got...C200...are you in Europe ?! Any case what year is your car and what engin is in it?! Is it the 2003 1.8 Comp M271???!!!! If it is and you could fit a supersprint on your car I'm going to shoot myself...did you just get the regular W203 (i.e. the ones that supposed to fit the C240 and C320) and bolted it on?! is it cat back or muffler only?!
Thanks in advance

The SACHS Performance Kit was ordered from local distributor here in Bangkok. The price is around $670 USD. The exhaust is around $850 USD.

They are multipieces. After converting the priced to US$, I've got the following figures. Not sure if it's cheaper or more expensive in the U.S. Just for your info.
Brabus Monoblock VI 8.5"x18" $698.80 USD
Brabus Monoblock VI 9.5"x18" $795.18 USD
Bridgestone 225/40 ZR18 $238.55 USD
Bridgestone 255/35 ZR 18 $289.16 USD

They are not forged. The bigger wheel affects acceleration a bit. It's acceptable for me as the handling has been greatly improved.

Sorry for keep you waiting dude. I'm in Bangkok, Thailand. The car is new (June 2003). It has a new M271 engine that produced 163 horse power. The C180 Kom produces less power. Info about different versions of exhaust for W203 is here - http://www.supersprint.com/a_modelli.asp?gruppo=mer203
My car has a muffler only.

The first performance upgrade for the 2003 M271 engine should be a better intercooler. The engine will produce some free horsepower, the advance will be better because the engine will not knock. Then when we get a chip or supercharger pulley we can utilize the extra horsepower.
The extra boost of the M271 is about 80 degrees additional temp over the 2.3 engine. The 2002 and 2003 intercooler is the same, I hope Brabus gets us a better IC by the end of the year. If they don't I will be making my own:p I know welders who can do aluminum, it will be important to keep pressure loss VERY low and temp removal high.
