The easiest way to make it faster is to return it and get the C320 or an engine swap. Don't know of anyone that's gotten any more ponies out of their C230K 1.8L yet. If you have the 2.3L then that's another story. You can make it sound faster with a louder muffler.

As for steady, you can get AMG, Eibach, Evosport sway bars from $200 to $500. Lowering springs from many companies but most people have H&R or Eibach. My website may help with some resources at www.Buellwinkle.com
