Basic mods for C32 and where to get?

Hey guys my friend has a C32 AMG and does not want to dish out 6000 for a brabus pulley upg for only 40hp. Where do you get your mods and how much money are they. What are the basic mods. I also have a supercharged car. I told him to get chip, pulley, exhaust, intake... His first mod was H&R springs. He has a black/black 02 C32 loaded. Thanks a lot.

1st place to look is www.evosport.com . They have a C32 in house with some pretty advanced mods. I think your friend will find their R&D is top notch and their prices more reasonable than the others. If you look around , you will agree that Evo has focused on C32 more than many, and has most of the parts you listed, though maybe all are not presented on the web site. So call them for a current list.

Thanks a lot!! I hope to get an AMG c-class within a couple years. I love what AMG is doing. The car is such a blast (cept for that damn traction control).

its nitto time!! The extreme performance tires are just amazing for street use (so i have heard). These are being used by guys with ~600rwhp cobras.. I ordered the 315/35/17 555R but u get like 5k out of those!!


FrankW.. any M3s giving u a hard time over on the bimmerforums? I'll show em what roots blown power is all about..

haha...most of them are cool, but some sure are a-hole tho. I had a 328Ci before, it was a great car, and my friend has a new M3, so i got nothing against them.

Hey SiLva, what tire did you get w/ your new rim order? Eric recommended Falkens over Toyo, so I went w/ that. When will your rims be available? He said to me something like end of the month.
