EDIT..Ok sorry Evo Sport you guys are doing the GB..cool and to any ebay shopper thinking they get a real AMG kit for under 700 should double check..

If it's any consolation, people are spending 30-50% more than original MSRP for their xenon headlamps.

$700's is a steal for any brake upgrade, although, you get what you pay for, and having read the post you're in reference to, I some how doubt they're receiving the full AMG spec upgrade as a part of the packaged deal.

The pictures are the real deal? yeah we'll see. as far as bi xenons my dealer has the us spec ones for around $1,200

I was in reference to the C4 lighting package, $750 for the Bixenons and headlamp washing system. Seems that people are paying an awful lot for something they could have gotten for nearly half the price (only to later have trouble with them).

Everybody in W203 forum know that you can get C32 brakes for less than 700 bux, why would one buy it from Ebay while one can get the same thing at a lesser price?.

“…These kids…” are you implying all W203 owner who would like to get C32 brakes are “kids”?? .

“…Now any jackass with a 25,000 benz….” Maybe you don’t know that there are many countries apart from US that has to pay a lot more that what you’d be paying in US for the same stuff. I do have a C32 and a C200K, We paid US$100,000 for our C32 but that doesn’t give me the right to call anyone “Jackass with 55000 C32”… right??.

i totally agree. name calling is uncalled for and rude not just to one person, but everyone who owns a c class (non-AMG) and especially those who did the brake upgrade. if we're old enough to drive a BENZ and have enough money to afford one, lets atleast show some maturity. calling people a jackass just cause they want a bargain/good price for something YOU payed more for is not our fault. let face it, a c32 is 20 times better than a c class, so whats the big deal if we get some "extra" parts. seriously, very uncalled for!!!!

Vader, you are in Orange County correct?

I am personally offended by the comments that you have made against probably the whole w203 (non amg) forum. Not everyone here can shell out $50K for a car, so that makes us jackasses? We work as hard, maybe even harder than you, so why does that make us not equal? Why are you so pissed that “lesser” cars are getting the same brakes as you?

"C32 Brake whoreing:"------>

Well then, why don't you spend the extra cash and go get some better Brembo's. You already spent $50K + , whats $3,000 for some brakes?

I think his issue is that when C32 parts are so cheap and easily accessible it makes him feel like he paid too much for his car so he lashes out. To us lesser beings, the C32 brakes are a great bargain, Brembo quality for 1/4th the price. Personally, I don't think I need them as the stock brakes with the Porterfield pads are good enough for me. But I do have the AMG sway bars, hope that doesn't offend C32 people, afterall, I bought them because they were cheap, half the price of the Eibachs.

When MB puts a 6spd in a C32, I may consider buying one.

steve s

ship one in from europe...i think they may just have manual amg cars there.


ebay's funny sometimes...some people will buy stuff at a price higher than at a regular retail store...

Thats pretty sad dude. I drive a C43 and I have people on the W202 forums doing the C43/E55 brake upgrades and I never thought it was so bad. Its always nice when people are modding and doing brake upgrades on any car no matter what the price is. If they can get a deal thats great.

And why would I be a Jackass for doing the brake upgrade on my C240? Did you pay $25,000 for your C240? I doubt it. Also, who are you to say I cant buy a C32? Or call me a kid? I only bought the C240 because it was the only C class that was stick at the time and there wasnt any C32 in 2001. Like I said, I OWN a C43, bought it new from the dealer in 1999 at Keyes European. Previous car to the C240 was a 1995 C36 which I also bought NEW from Calstar motors. For a person who just went from a C240 to a C32, why are you so mad about people doing brake upgrades?

Steve Clark

at least MBZ brake parts are reasonably priced.

dmatre

I can't believe that someone who drives a car as nice as the C32 is bent out of shape over people upgrading their cars with some of the same stuff on his car!

W.T.F.? MB sells the parts, people buy the parts. Where does this affect anybody else? Who would care?

In order to completely reproduce a C32, based on a C230/240/320, you would run up a tab significantly higher than the purchase price of a new one.

I have to admit that the prices I've seen for some of the AMG parts have been more than reasonable. Thank goodness MB finally came to their senses in the area of parts pricing.

Dude, take a valium, relax, enjoy what you've got. . . and quit whinin' about what everybody else is doing.

Hi folks, let's put an ice cube in the room.
I think Vader became too excited after the few burnout videos.
Any upgrades to our C's is an attempt to embrass the non-MB fleets; a chance to unleash the potential of this little machine. So, let's re-focus on issues that will bring our cars to better that of the competitors; and flame whoever disrespects MB.

That said, BMW is still the worst!
