C300 Sport LOADED
Choose which mod I should do next.
Ok, I have about 400 dollar to use.
I have artic white 2009 c300 sport with 3piece spoiler(CF).
Here is list you can vote or choose.
1. Sprint Booster
2. 2012 Side Mirror casing.(this is about 150dollar)
3. Front Strut bar.
I was wondering if any one have Strut bar and want to hear some input.
I just had Front sway bar replaced thru Warranty (there was lots of Squeaking sound when I went over speed bump). After replacing sway bar the cornering seems improved then when it was messed up.
I like the feeling of steadiness (lesss tilting sideway) when I turn the corner.
Would Front Strut bar improve it even more? that I can feel? Or is it just not necessary accessory?
Help me out. Thanks.

None of the above.
If you liked what just having a properly mounted original antisway bar did for you, you will love replacing them front and rear with the Eibach antisway bars. The money you have on hand now will just about cover the parts. Either install them yourself or with a friend with a shop, or save up for the labor. I almost bought a front tower strut brace, but from all the info I could gather, it is essentially cosmetic. With a car already as rigid as the W204, you might feel the effect in a competition setting on a track. But, the antisway bar upgrade will be a daily delight!

If you search the forum for Sprintbooster- you will find numerous posts in detail.
Basically- it is a module that plugs inline at the accelerator pedal and amplifies the signal in the drive-by-wire throttle control. The end result is WOT (Wide Open Throttle) with less accelerator pedal travel. Some will argue it is a scam, but after driving my car with and without I can definitely feel the difference. The throttle becomes much more sensitive. Someone will eventually bring up some "White paper" documenting someones "testing" of the Sprintbooster. The results are based on one persons opinion from one vehicles performance (I believe it was an older Mercedes with a manual transmission).

lowering springs- $250
used sprint booster- $175
I love both of these mods, an strut brace is unnecessary unless the car is driven super aggressively

When 3 adult and 2 kids are in the car, my tire seems to touch the chassy.(I have sport package,18 inch wheel)
When I move to cali, I put some boxes with stuff in my car and shipped it for a week and I think that might have lowered a car a little.
If i were to change the spring what result should i feel? and isn't loweing spring demages the camber arm(pardon the spelling)? and have to replace it later on?
