FYI, I wouldn't trust that they say it fits the C32 though. I remember when I got one for my BMW, it said fitment was for 318, yet when I received it, I had to relocate my coilpacks to make it fit. Later that year I sold it to a guy with a 325 and he had even more issues with stuff in the way, WTF? Just beware.

200 euros = 289 usd,,,,i agree pricey, but if bought in numbers, the price may be more palatable, ,,,i wonder if they do the under car brace which seems to be a better choice? anyone got a lead on a manufacturer for under car brace?? get me names/contact info and ill do leg work, thanx, mike

Who cares as long as they have funding and start meeting orders. At any one time my business owes the bank and other investors between 200 and 400K and has payables between 50 and 100k. As long as they have positive cashflow (which they obviously do), then it's no big deal. It's called business. I am able to get money from the bank because my company owns a lot of assets and I can personally guarantee the credit line. This isn't really the case for a company like Evosport. So they have to explore other options to fund their business.

That being said, thanks Mike for touching base. If anyone is local to us, please contact me and we can setup a time to look over the car. I would probably want a couple models just to make sure there are common denominators between a C32 and a C320, for example to make this work across multiple W203's. You can checkout our new Performance Center in progress, and I may even take you for a ride in one of the 600hp CLK Black Series if you can make it in early next week

sounds like a TASTY offer,,,,,,last time a had the pleasure of a ride in a w211 e55 was very entertaining
so we r all on the same page, the w203 has a limp front end, this brace will make the front end a rigid platform so the suspension CAN do what it is intended to do- turn corners as sharply as possible while keeping the tires from being ground off. for those w sway bars , coil overs, sticky tires (.ie michelin ps2), will find that these performance parts will work much better when attached to a rigid structure that keeps the entire suspension SYSTEM in ideal geometry will under lateral g forces,,,,tires will also last longer as max contact patch will be maintained so there will be less scrubbing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WIN WIN ,,,remember happiness IS the next corner! thanx, mike
