What mods can you guys think of, that i can do? Also keep in mind, my car is a 2013 and i just spent all my cash on the quad tips.

So far i have done:

Tints, clear side markers, leds on parking light and side markers, new grill, quad tips, c63 diffuser, x pipe, new mufflers, removed lower chrome trim, vinyl wrapped window grim, and blacked out the chrome in the rear.

Sportstick

All this stuff is cosmetic...any interest in the driving experience?

Sure as long as its not bad for the car. Don't want it to void warranty too, unless its reversable like a tune. Waiting for a tune to come tho for 2013

The tune is taking forever... I don't understand how it could take this long.

xjaymzzx

I know right! Jesus i'll gladly pay the money for some decent hp/torque increases.

Eibach antisway bar upgrade
SMERC strut tower brace
Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position, or Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 (in the process of launching all the sizes of this new tire)

None of these are bad for the car, but a new antisway bar will not have a warranty from MB, as it's not their part, but how many issues have you ever read about for antisway bar failures??

These changes transform the feeling of the car for much quicker steering response feel, flatter cornering, overall improved handling...sort of "slot car" feeling compared to the original. Tunes and chips may take off a fraction of a second to get up to a speed your car can now achieve anyway, but these chassis upgrades are major smile-makers at every corner and ramp and feel much better everyday! Don't just look at the car....have some real fun driving it!!

I want to do the smerc and the eibach but i dont have any good shops to bring it to. alot of shops ripped me off. I took my car to a place called red line motor sports. I asked for a quote, to install a x pipe. they said they have to take a look under the car to see how much. I told them i'm gonna grab a quick bite to eat at the bk next door (alot of cars waiting). I come back. They installed it without telling me, and charged $180.

I want to do the smerc strut tower brace now! But i cant find the eibach anti sway bar kit for 2013 c300.

Sportstick

Perhaps they are still in development. Call Eibach directly.1-800-507-2338.

xjaymzzx

No point. I just read the thread where you mentioned its rwd only not 4matic :,(

Cillys

Eibach does not make sway bar kits for the 4MATIC's, though I imagine that the rear sway bar there would be no difference ... just the front with the transfer case for the 4MATIC function would be shaped differently if there was even one up front. The Strut bar price has dropped to $279 from the original 325$ price by SMERC. I had front and rear strut bars on my '93 Accord and it did make a world of difference when corning.

Yeah i want to get smerc strut tower brace. Last week i was complaining about the handling compared to my old 2002 slk amg.

AkaSigFreak

I contacted SMERC Engineering and asked if the Strut Bar would fit the 2013 C250. I was excited about the price drop and the "Availability: In-Stock - Ships from Warehouse in 1-2 days".
Response: It does fit the c-class but we actually have discountined the struct braces and currently do not have any more in stock. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I know!
This is an alternative but definitely not as affordable.

Well that is just poo, since i just ordered it off their website :,(

xjaymzzx

Strut braces are like the main thing they sell. Not many people buys their camera mounts or stickers. :0

Did you do anything to your 2nd cat? A friend my at tunning shop recommend me to delete it

xjaymzzx

I didn't touch the cats because I'm scared of voiding warranty. The only exhaust work I did was x pipe and mufflers I want the tune tho and then flash it back during service

So where did you get your c63 amg rear diffuser (does it need extra bracket) and the quad tips. Thx.

xjaymzzx

You should get the brackets and diffuser from mb dealer parts department and exhaust tips from ebay. I brought my diffuser from ebay (autohauz) they said its oem and that it doesnt need brackets but there was no mount for the brackets and it was not good. So i had my body shop fix it and attach the brackets themselves. Save yourself the trouble and buy from dealer

There's plenty of mods you can do to your new C Class. You have to be prepared to pay pretty good money though. A good thread to look at is 190Benz's and the Stance Lab thread.

I've been trying to find an LSD that will work on new non AMG C Class cars. People seem to like them and it will add to the list of potential upgrades. Maybe you guys could help me out on this one?

Scat01

Sprint boost that car already....

Remove "custom plate" and "spiked plate" from your mod list...C'mon man...

Get rid of the tiring pics of your exhaust upgrade in your sig...we get it - nice job...

Just stop now - Limited slip dif would make little to no difference in our less than 300hp cars......take the cash you saved for this....and stick it in the bank or buy bonds...good luck.

I think what i put on my sig, should not concern you. You don't have to be a dick about it

EDIT: sorry my sig isn't original as yours
