I purchased my C32 today

Hello,

I did my part to stimulate the ecomony by purchasing a 2003 C32 today.

The stats are as follows...

Purchased from the original owner
43250 miles
Clean history and CPO'd by Mercedes Benz
Metallic Blue with black interior
100% stock and unmodified

I am located in San Francisco and would like to know if anyone would recommend a good shop. Definitely interested in a suspension modification. Any recomendations for a kit with a "nice" drop while maintaining a decent ride. I will probably stay with the OEM wheels but may go with a plus 1 set later on. Something to consider when doing a drop.

Also, I would like to inquire about the exhaust. Is a dual exhaust design available.

Anything else you guys recommend? Favorite places to shop online?

I look forward to more chat and information from MBW.

Cordially,

Miguel

welcome! i recommend shopping with www.code3performance.com and www.LETmotorsports.com

both offer great products at great prices!

as far as recommendations, everyone loves the resonator delete. and getting a pulley (s/c pulley from Code3 or crank pulley from LET (preferrably), evosport, asp, and renntech) is fun too

Congrats.
Very nice example indeed.
I would recommed Bilstein PSS9's for suspension, and Code3Performance for increased engine (hp/tq).

Hit me up. I am local.

... are always a good time.

Thanks guys... I think that I will enjoy my stay here on MBW. I appreciate the cordial greetings.

So far I am loving the car more then I thought I would. Not a stranger to speed as I have held three Vintage Racing licences and also raced Supermoto bikes for three years. But I am certainly not a street racer...

Until today when I took out a Boxster S. Either he lost "interest" or the C32 is really that fast.

thanks again for the tips and I will look into each of your bits of information. Will be going to SEMA this year and will look into parts while at Vegas.

Miguel
